Eleventh Amendment

Read a random definition: defective condition

A quick definition of Eleventh Amendment:

The Eleventh Amendment is a rule in the United States Constitution that says a person who is not a citizen of a state cannot sue that state in a federal court. This is called sovereign immunity, which means that the government cannot be sued without its permission. There are other types of immunity, like diplomatic immunity for foreign diplomats and parental immunity, which means that children cannot sue their parents and parents cannot sue their children for accidents or injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

The Eleventh Amendment is a part of the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1795. It prevents a federal court from hearing a case against a state by a person who is not a citizen of that state. This is known as sovereign immunity.

For example, if someone from New York wanted to sue the state of California in federal court, the Eleventh Amendment would prevent them from doing so.

Other types of immunity include:

  • Executive immunity: The U.S. President or a state governor is immune from civil damages for actions that are within the scope of their official responsibilities.
  • Judicial immunity: A judge is immune from civil liability arising from the performance of their judicial duties.
  • Legislative immunity: A legislator is immune from civil liability arising from the performance of their legislative duties.
  • Prosecutorial immunity: A prosecutor is absolutely immune from civil liability for decisions made and actions taken in a criminal prosecution.

These immunities are granted to certain public officials to protect them from being sued for actions taken in the course of their official duties. However, there are limitations to these immunities, and they do not protect officials from criminal prosecution or liability for actions taken outside of their official duties.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Yeah but like half the general officers are compromised so we might as well just give this country to China already. The head of the JAG corps used to tell us how much he loved Tiktok and he was a 1 star. These people should be court martialed. I hope Trump follows through on that promise the most.
it was 80 degrees three days ago and now it's like pouring rain sleet and wind

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)
soap
10:37
Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring
Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.
