Event Details

This legal document is a page from a court filing that refutes a defendant's argument about the legislative intent of Section 3283. The author argues the defendant used a misleading, selective quote from Senator Patrick Leahy to claim Congress did not intend for an extended statute of limitations to apply retroactively. The document provides the full quotation to show that Congress removed the retroactivity provision due to constitutional concerns, not to limit the statute's application as the defendant suggests.
