Byron White, Toussie v. United States — Dissent
“ But the presumption is by its nature rebuttable; if it is ever to give way, it must surely do so in a case such as this where every other guide to statutory interpretation points to a contrary legislative intent. To hold otherwise-to erect as the majority does an absolute bar to finding a continuing offense in the absence of express statutory language is to shirk our judicial responsibility of interpreting Acts of Congress as they come to us, without insisting that Congress make our task easier by using some particular form of words to express its intent. ”
