Read a random definition: corporate resolution

A quick definition of confidential marriage:

Confidential marriage is a type of marriage where only the couple and the officiant are present at the ceremony, and the marriage is not recorded in public records. It is legal in some places, and the parties must meet certain requirements, such as being of opposite sex and having lived together for a certain period. This type of marriage allows couples to achieve marital status without publicity, but it does not relate back to the time when the parties started holding themselves out as a married couple.

A more thorough explanation:

A confidential marriage is a legal union between a man and a woman that is performed in some jurisdictions, such as California, where only the two parties and the officiant are present at the ceremony. This type of marriage is neither witnessed nor recorded in public records, but is recorded in nonpublic records. To obtain a confidential marriage, the parties must each be at least 18, must be of the opposite sex, and usually must have lived together for an extended period.

For example, in California, a confidential marriage allows parties who have been living as husband and wife in a jurisdiction that does not recognize informal marriages to achieve marital status without publicity. However, it does not relate back to the time when the parties started holding themselves out as a married couple and thus it can have consequences in determining the extent of marital or community property or various other rights.

i personally think it should be an 8 year term with a term limit of 3 terms. so 24 years total. and one's position can be given to another candidate as well, doesn't just always go to the incumbent

not to doom but there's no way conservatives would vote for a term limit on SCOTUS if the majority is going to rule in favor of conservative interests in a patterned way
21:56
for many people in politics, not just conservatives, the ends justify the means and the means could be anti-american if it means achieving a "patriotic" end so to speak

@shaquilleoatmeal: It's not a bad article, but I still don't buy it because (a) I think it glosses over cases like Milligan way too quickly without even going into why there was an ideological split (which there was for a reason and that case did matter) and (b) I think the 3-3-3 court description is also grounded in the difference in jurisprudence between the two groups (and that they aligned on cases like the SFAA one could say more about the facts of the case, than jurisprudential differences)

@shaquilleoatmeal: I’ll also preface, I am a little biased—I’m a big fan of Sara Isgur and David French.

not aware of Milligan - what was the split and why
Essentially if an Alabama redistricting map violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. It was 5-4 with Kavanaugh and Robert’s in the majority. A very important case.
@shaquilleoatmeal: yes! I love advisory opinions
