Read a random definition: penal statute

A quick definition of H.B.:

Term: H.B.

Definition: H.B. stands for House Bill, which is a proposed law that is introduced in the House of Representatives. It is a document that outlines the details of the proposed law and is debated and voted on by the members of the House.

H.C.

Definition: H.C. can stand for two things. It can refer to the House of Commons, which is the lower house of the British Parliament. It can also stand for Habeas Corpus, which is a legal term that means a person has the right to be brought before a court or judge to determine if their detention is lawful.

HDC

Definition: HDC stands for Holder in Due Course, which is a legal term that refers to a person who has received a negotiable instrument, such as a check or promissory note, in good faith and without knowledge of any defects or problems with the instrument.

HE

Definition: HE is a pronoun that traditionally refers to a male person, but can also be used to refer to both sexes or corporations. However, because of the trend towards non-sexist language, it is best to avoid using the generic pronouns he, him, and his unless the reference is only to a male person.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: H.B. stands for House Bill, which is a proposed law introduced in the House of Representatives in the United States Congress.

Example: H.B. 1234, also known as the Clean Energy Act, was introduced in the House of Representatives on January 1, 2021.

This example illustrates that H.B. is used to refer to a specific bill introduced in the House of Representatives.

Definition: H.C. can have two meanings. It can stand for House of Commons, which is the lower house of the Parliament in the United Kingdom. It can also stand for Habeas Corpus, which is a legal term that refers to a person's right to be brought before a court or judge.

Example 1: The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom gave a speech in the H.C. yesterday.

This example illustrates that H.C. is used to refer to the House of Commons in the United Kingdom.

Example 2: The lawyer filed a petition for H.C. on behalf of her client who was being held in custody without trial.

This example illustrates that H.C. is used to refer to Habeas Corpus, which is a legal term related to a person's right to be brought before a court or judge.

Definition: HDC stands for Holder in Due Course, which is a legal term that refers to a person who has received a negotiable instrument, such as a check or promissory note, in good faith and for value, and without notice of any defects or problems with the instrument.

Example: The bank was considered an HDC because it received the check in good faith and without any knowledge of any problems with the check.

This example illustrates that HDC is used to refer to a person who has received a negotiable instrument in good faith and without notice of any defects or problems with the instrument.

Definition: He is a pronoun of the masculine gender that is traditionally used to refer to a male person. In statutes, it is often construed to include both sexes, as well as corporations. It may also be read as they. However, due to the trend toward nonsexist language, careful drafters avoid using the generic pronouns he, him, and his unless the reference is only to a male person.

Example: He who violates the law shall be punished.

This example illustrates the traditional use of he as a pronoun to refer to a male person. However, this usage is becoming less common due to the trend toward nonsexist language.

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.
