legislative history

Read a random definition: CHINS

A quick definition of legislative history:

Legislative history refers to the events and information that led to the creation of a law. This includes things like meetings, reports, and discussions that happened before the law was passed. Sometimes, this information is written down so that people can use it to better understand what the law means.

A more thorough explanation:

Legislative history refers to the events and background that led to the creation of a law. This includes things like hearings, committee reports, and debates that took place during the legislative process.

For example, if a law was passed to regulate the use of drones, the legislative history might include hearings where experts testified about the safety concerns of drones, committee reports that outlined the proposed regulations, and debates on the floor of the legislature about the merits of the proposed law.

Legislative history is important because it can help us understand the intent behind a law. By looking at the events and discussions that led to its creation, we can better understand what the lawmakers were trying to accomplish and how they intended the law to be interpreted and enforced.

I think it can be ambiguous, but it should be something the viewer should be able to figure out. If not then what is the point. In terms of audience intelligence, I don't think the highest level of movie watchers would care for this movie. I think the opposite. The movie does not appeal to the highest level of movie watchers. It also doesn't appeal to like the lowest level either. It just tells a simple story that comes off as propoganda.
yeah you're right thank you
i agree dkk if we are talking about lolita

we’re talking about the movie perfect days by wim wenders
unfortunately it very much distills the actual novel which yeah i mean that is typical of any film ever so it's not profound of me to say that

Does the status date disappearing on GW mean something?

Ahh nah was talking about the Japanese movie. And I would say how people are comfortable with ambiguity can be completely different. I feel as if when I see ambiguity I just say whatever, but when others see it they obsess over it to the point they gain anxiety and it is not healthy. Engaging with ambiguity is not something that should be encouraged.

"Engaging with ambiguity is not something that should be encouraged" is a crazy ass thing for a future lawyer to say. Bro that's your job

Nah my job is to write good clean consise law that removes ambiguity. If I run into a case where things are too ambiguous for me, it is because I have not developed a strong enough theory to work within.

These movies like wallow in ambiguity and embrace it as a desired element of the artistry but to me that it something that should be cut or if anything, the facts should be there to make a decision.
that Chicago interview was the best one I think I've ever had
