interpretatio limitata

Read a random definition: meer dreit

A quick definition of interpretatio limitata:

Interpretation is the process of figuring out what something means, like a law or a document. It's like solving a puzzle to understand what the words are trying to say. There are different ways to interpret something, like looking at the words themselves or comparing them to other similar documents. Sometimes, there are rules that limit how you can interpret something, and other times you can be more flexible. It's important to interpret things correctly so that everyone understands what they mean.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Interpretatio limitata is a type of restrictive interpretation used in legal contexts. It refers to an interpretation that is bound by a principle or principles existing outside the interpreted text.

For example, if a law is interpreted restrictively, it means that the interpretation is limited to the exact words used in the law and does not allow for any additional meanings or implications. This type of interpretation is often used to ensure that the law is applied only in specific circumstances and not in a broader sense.

Another example of interpretatio limitata is when a court interprets a contract narrowly, based only on the specific language used in the contract, rather than considering any outside factors or circumstances.

Overall, interpretatio limitata is a way to ensure that legal interpretations are precise and consistent, and that they do not stray from the intended meaning of the text.

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: 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.
