This legal document, part of a court filing, argues for a specific interpretation of statute § 3283. It cites legal precedents from cases like Bridges, Scharton, and Noveck to support the claim that § 3283 does not modify the statute of limitations for § 2423(a) violations. The document contrasts this with a 2001 action by Congress, which used explicit language to eliminate the statute of limitations for certain terrorism offenses, arguing that Congress knows how to be specific when it intends to be.
