disenfranchisement

Read a random definition: imported litigation

A quick definition of disenfranchisement:

Disenfranchisement is when someone is not allowed to vote in public elections. It can also mean taking away someone's right in an organization. It's like being kicked out or not being allowed to participate.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Disenfranchisement is the act of taking away someone's right to vote in public elections. It can also refer to the act of depriving a member of a corporation or organization of a right by expulsion.

Examples: In the United States, some states have passed laws that require voters to show specific forms of identification in order to vote. This can lead to disenfranchisement of certain groups of people who may not have access to the required identification. Another example of disenfranchisement is when a member of a club or organization is expelled and loses their right to participate in the group's activities.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how disenfranchisement can occur in different contexts. In the case of voter ID laws, certain groups of people, such as low-income individuals or minorities, may be disproportionately affected and lose their right to vote. In the case of organizational disenfranchisement, a member may lose their right to participate in decision-making or other activities within the group. Overall, disenfranchisement involves taking away someone's rights or privileges, often in a way that is unfair or discriminatory.

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.
