- hackernewds 3y agoThe supreme court is not in the business of fixing laws, it is in the business of interpreting them.
- krapp 3y agoThe supreme court routinely "fixes" laws by providing a canonical interpretation of them, or else nullifying them altogether by declaring them unconstitutional. That is their business.
- qingcharles 3y agoThis happens with alarming regularity. I once read through the entire criminal code of Illinois and found about a dozen plain bugs like this just speed-reading it.
