So, what happens if I assume that Congress is not ethical (I.e. it’s members)? Do I still have to worry about the “spirit” of the law?

If they can vote several times to get rid of Obamacare, and then when the vote actually matters and they don’t pass their vote, what is the “spirit”?

Honestly, I used to feel your way, but when you see both sides pull as much shifty crap over the years, I’m following the letter. Screw the spirit - I prefer to donate to charity than give those guys one more dime.
