We need to look at the “intentions” of the speaker. And by we I mean me. I believe in the text of the law. We need to look no further than the meaning of the words. The wording of this law challenges your groups hold on power. We really need to look at the intentions of the writers of this law. And be we I mean me and by writer I mean what I would have meant.
