civil-rights removal

A quick definition of civil-rights removal:

Civil-rights removal is the process of moving a legal case from a state court to a federal court. This can happen for three reasons: (1) if someone has been denied their civil rights in the state court, (2) if someone is being sued for doing something that is allowed under a law that provides for equal rights, or (3) if someone is being sued for refusing to do something that goes against equal rights. To move a case to federal court, the person must file papers and show that there is a valid reason for the federal court to hear the case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Civil-rights removal is the process of transferring a legal case from a state court to a federal court because a person has been denied or cannot enforce a civil right in the state court, or because they are being sued for performing an act under a law that provides for equal rights, or for refusing to perform an act that would be inconsistent with equal rights.

Example: If a person is suing their employer for discrimination based on race, and they feel that they will not receive a fair trial in the state court, they can request civil-rights removal to transfer the case to a federal court. This is because federal courts have more experience and resources to handle civil rights cases.

Explanation: Civil-rights removal is a legal process that allows individuals to seek justice in federal courts if they feel that their civil rights have been violated in state courts. This process ensures that everyone has access to a fair trial and equal protection under the law, regardless of their race, gender, or other protected characteristics.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
