Most-quoted passages

“[U]pon closer examination, the two principles are not in conflict here. While the term “retroactive” is commonly used to refer to statutes that operate on preenactment transactions and pre-existing rights or obligations, a statute is not “retroactive” simply because facts from the pre-enactment period are implicated. The presumption against “retroactivity” has generally been applied only when application of the new law would affect rights or obligations existing prior to the change in the law.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“the Bradley presumption of applying the law in effect at the time a court renders its decision in the absence of contrary legislative intent seems inconsistent with the long-standing rule of statutory construction that statutes are presumed to have only 'prospective' effect and will be given 'retroactive' effect only if there is affirmative legislative direction to do so.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“(b) Interest shall be computed daily to the date of payment except as provided in section 2516(b) of this title and section 1304(b) of title 31, and shall be compounded annually.”
