Grave Offense. Had Toussie really stopped breaking the law the day after the grace period ended? Or had he continued to violate it every day that he failed to register? The concept of "continuing violation" is found throughout the law.

SR 85 merely compels the President to choose tactics which will command Congressional support or create Congressional hostility...
