In re I.S and M.S.
The California Reports and the California Appellate Reports are filled with innumerable instances where an appellate court has had to wrestle with the text of a statute to ascertain its meaning and application. Far less common are cases where the court deals with a statute whose text is utterly without ambiguity, whose application is completely certain, and whose impact is dispositive. This is one of those cases.
