Supreme Court justices split on whether laws should be read by their text or by what Congress intended at the time of passage. The Miller-Tydings Act case sparked Justice Douglas to probe legislative history, while Justices Jackson and Minton warned such inquiry risks substituting court judgment for Congress. The majority, led by Douglas, embraced intent as guidance. dissenters urged sticking to the law’s actual wording.
