manifest error

Read a random definition: NVOCC

A quick definition of manifest error:

Manifest error is when someone believes something that is not true or does not match reality. This can happen because of a mistake in identifying an object, misunderstanding the type of contract, or errors in the amount or quality of something. It can also refer to mistakes made by a court or tribunal in their judgment or order. Some errors may be harmless and not affect the outcome, while others can be so serious that they violate someone's constitutional rights. A manifest error is a clear and obvious mistake that cannot be disputed.

A more thorough explanation:

A manifest error is a mistake that is obvious and cannot be disputed. It can refer to an error in belief or judgment that does not match reality. For example, if someone buys a horse thinking it is the same one they rode before, but it turns out to be a different horse, that is a manifest error.

Another type of manifest error is a mistake made by a court or tribunal in their judgment or order. This can include errors of fact or law. For instance, if a judge makes a ruling that is clearly incorrect and goes against established legal principles, that would be a manifest error.

Manifest errors can have serious consequences, especially in legal proceedings. They can lead to wrongful convictions, financial losses, and other negative outcomes. It is important to identify and correct manifest errors as soon as possible to prevent further harm.

Examples:

  • Buying a car that is advertised as having low mileage, but later discovering that the odometer has been tampered with and the actual mileage is much higher. This is a manifest error in the seller's claim.
  • A judge in a criminal trial mistakenly allows evidence that should have been excluded, leading to a wrongful conviction. This is a manifest error in the judge's ruling.

In both of these examples, the error is obvious and cannot be disputed. It has a significant impact on the outcome of the situation and must be addressed to prevent further harm.

Glad you're back dk lmao. If you read the actual article, it's that his day one EO's are wildly unpopular (for instance the majority of americans support birthright citizenship). He can have won the popular vote and still do unpopular stuff

"Two recent polls found opposition to pardoning the J6ers at 57 and 59 percent, respectively, and that was before Americans understood that even the cop-beaters in the crowd that day would be let off scot-free."

I lean conservative and for a long time was one of those people who thought that he was bad but wasn't a facist and that sort of rhetoric was over-reactive. And for those reasons I voted for Harris, but I think I was underestimating him by far.

Remember when Elon musk literally did the nazi salute twice , yeah
Insane
his goal is to crush public opinion of the government by intentionally making ineffective and then pointing to how ineffective it is
