re: #657 Aceofwhat?

I do not think you can fairly say you can discern the intent of something that doesn’t define necessary terms which are inherently subjective; whether or not it is targeting those with only ‘strong’ accents is not something one can say about the bill, since the bill doesn’t say what a strong accent is.

If I passed a bill that said “All skinny teachers should be fired”, and subsequently defined ‘skinny’ as anything under 200 pounds, would you say the intent of the bill was only to fire the skinny teachers? When you talk about intent, subjective evaluation immediately becomes relevant.
