A quick definition of memorandum opinion:

A memorandum opinion is a written statement by a court explaining its decision in a case. It includes the facts, points of law, and reasoning behind the decision. It can be a unanimous decision or a decision with a majority or plurality of judges. It can also be a nonbinding advisory opinion or a personal opinion expressed by a judge. A memorandum opinion can be published or unpublished, and it may be cited as authority or not. It is important for lawyers and parties to understand the court's opinion to know how to proceed with the case.

A more thorough explanation:

A memorandum opinion is a written statement by a court explaining its decision in a case. It usually includes the facts of the case, the legal points involved, the reasoning behind the decision, and any additional comments. It is also known as a judicial opinion.

For example, if a court decides that a defendant is guilty of a crime, it will issue a memorandum opinion explaining why it reached that decision. The opinion will outline the evidence presented, the legal arguments made by both sides, and the reasoning behind the court's decision.

Another example is when an employee benefit plan administrator issues a memorandum opinion interpreting the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and applying it to a specific situation. This opinion is only applicable to the parties named in the request and relies on the accuracy and completeness of all material facts.

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.
