Plain Language
When Congress wants to include exploitation they say so. See Patterson v. Schriro, 2009 U.S. Dist. Lexis 87501 (Dist AZ 2009) (treating 'sexual or physical abuse seperate from exploitation'); Western Protectors Ins. Co. ... 624 F. Supp 2d 1292 (W.D. WA, 2009) (Same); United States v. Pharis, 176 F. 3d 434, 436 (5th Cir. 1999) (Same). Also see 18 USC §1101(A)(43)(a) versus (1). "To dermine the meaning of a statute, we first look to the text of the statute itself, if the statute is unambiguous, the statute should be enforced as written ... If the language is ambiguous, legislative history can be helpful to determine Congressional intent.' 'Statutory Construction ... is a holistic endeavor' we cannot read a single word or provision of the statute in isolation." United States v. Dodge, 597 F.3d 1347, 1352 (11th Cir. 2010).
This guidance was ignored entirely by the Fifth Circuit. First, the court ignored the fact that the statute of limitation was misfiled for completely unknown reasons as the first sentence of Civil Stay language at §3509(k) in 1990. Several proposals targetted the limitations, Chapter (213) from the start. See Lavine H.R. 4688, May 4, 1990, Downey H.R. 3958 Feb 6, 1990.
