A quick definition of levir:

Term: LEVIR

Definition: A levir is a person who is either a husband's brother or a wife's brother-in-law according to Roman law.

Simply put, a levir is a family member who is related to you through marriage. If you are a woman, your husband's brother is your levir. If you are a man, your wife's brother is your levir.

A more thorough explanation:

LEVIR

A levir is a term used in Roman law to refer to either a husband's brother or a wife's brother-in-law.

1. After John's death, his wife Mary was expected to marry his levir, which was John's brother.

2. When Sarah got married, she gained a levir, which was her husband's brother.

The first example illustrates the first definition of levir, which is a husband's brother. In Roman law, it was customary for a widow to marry her deceased husband's brother to ensure that the family line continued. The second example illustrates the second definition of levir, which is a wife's brother-in-law. When a woman gets married, she gains a new family, including her husband's siblings, who become her levirs.

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.
