Read a random definition: Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

A quick definition of Department of Justice:

Department of Justice: The Department of Justice is a part of the government that makes sure people follow the laws. The leader of this department is called the U.S. Attorney General. They have different groups that work on different types of cases, like ones about taxes or the environment. They also have a group that helps the government in lawsuits. We use the abbreviation DOJ to talk about this department.

A more thorough explanation:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is a division of the federal government responsible for enforcing federal laws and providing related programs and services. The head of the DOJ is the U.S. Attorney General.

The DOJ is divided into separate divisions that handle different types of cases. For example, there are divisions for prosecuting cases related to antitrust laws, tax laws, environmental laws, and criminal laws. The department also has a civil division that represents the U.S. government in cases involving tort claims and commercial litigation.

Examples of cases that the DOJ might handle include:

  • A case involving a company that is accused of violating antitrust laws by engaging in monopolistic practices.
  • A case involving an individual who is accused of evading taxes.
  • A case involving a company that is accused of violating environmental laws by polluting a river.
  • A case involving an individual who is accused of committing a federal crime, such as drug trafficking or fraud.
  • A case involving a lawsuit against the U.S. government for damages resulting from a tort, such as a car accident caused by a government employee.

These examples illustrate the DOJ's role in enforcing federal laws and representing the U.S. government in legal matters. The DOJ plays an important role in maintaining law and order at the federal level and ensuring that justice is served.

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
23:02
i am not that sympathetic to him
Dkk
23:04
@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.
Dkk
23:05
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.
