A quick definition of diplomatic law:

Term: Diplomatic law

Definition: Diplomatic law is a set of rules that govern how diplomats from one country behave when they are in another country. These rules are very important because they help to ensure that diplomats can do their jobs without fear of being arrested or punished by the host country. Diplomatic law is based on the idea of diplomatic immunity, which means that diplomats are protected from prosecution and other legal actions while they are working in another country. The rules of diplomatic law are outlined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which was created in 1961.

A more thorough explanation:

Diplomatic law is a part of international law that deals with the rules and regulations related to diplomacy. It includes the rights and responsibilities of state representatives when they are in other countries. The main principles of diplomatic law are diplomatic immunity and sovereign immunity, which are some of the oldest customs in international law. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961 has codified diplomatic law.

  • When a foreign ambassador visits another country, they are protected by diplomatic immunity. This means that they cannot be arrested or prosecuted by the host country's authorities.
  • If a diplomat commits a crime in the host country, they can be expelled from the country, but they cannot be arrested or prosecuted.
  • Embassies and consulates are considered the territory of the sending state, and the host country cannot enter them without permission.
These examples illustrate the principles of diplomatic immunity and sovereign immunity. Diplomatic immunity protects diplomats from being arrested or prosecuted in the host country, while sovereign immunity protects the embassy or consulate from being entered by the host country's authorities without permission. These principles ensure that diplomats can carry out their duties without fear of harassment or interference from the host country.

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.
