Abstract
In this essay I comment on an article setting forth the outline of a methodology for intentionalist statutory interpretation. Although I agree that intentionalism is the proper way to interpret statutes, I raise a conceptual problem that the authors purport to handle but in fact elide.
Keywords: statutes, interpretation
