A quick definition of comment:

Comment: A comment is something a judge or lawyer says during a trial about the evidence. They might say something that hasn't been proven yet, but the other lawyer can object. The judge will remind the jury that these comments aren't evidence. A comment can also be a written opinion or statement made by the person who wrote a rule or law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A comment is a statement made by a judge or attorney during a trial to the jury about the evidence presented. The comment is based on an alleged but unproven fact, which the attorney for the other side may object to. The judge may remind the jury that these comments should not be taken as evidence. Additionally, a comment may refer to a written opinion or statement made by the drafter of a rule, statute, etc.

Example: During a trial, the prosecutor may make a comment to the jury about the defendant's motive for committing the crime. The defense attorney may object to this comment if there is no evidence to support the alleged motive. The judge may then remind the jury that the comment is not evidence and should not be considered as such.

Example: A government official may make a comment about a proposed law, stating their opinion on whether it is necessary or not. This comment may be taken into consideration by lawmakers, but it is not a binding decision.

These examples illustrate how a comment is a statement made by someone in a position of authority or expertise, but it is not necessarily based on proven facts or evidence. It is important to consider the source and context of a comment before accepting it as true or accurate.

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

@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.
