A quick definition of monomania:

Term: MONOMANIA

Definition: Monomania is a type of insanity where a person becomes obsessed with a particular subject or group of subjects. This obsession is usually shown through a single delusion that the person believes to be true. If someone with monomania creates a will, it is usually considered valid unless it can be proven that the delusion influenced specific parts of the will. Monomaniacal is the adjective form of this word, and a monomaniac is a person who suffers from this condition.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Monomania is a type of insanity where a person becomes obsessed with a particular subject or group of subjects. This obsession is usually shown through a single delusion that the person believes to be true.

For example, a person suffering from monomania may believe that they are being followed by aliens or that they have a special power that no one else has. They may become so obsessed with this delusion that it affects their daily life and relationships.

If someone suffering from monomania creates a will, it is usually considered valid unless it can be proven that the delusion influenced specific provisions in the will.

Example: John was diagnosed with monomania after he became convinced that he was a famous musician. He would spend hours each day playing music and talking about his supposed fame, even though he had never played a concert or released any music. His obsession with this delusion caused him to lose his job and his relationships with friends and family.

Explanation: This example illustrates how monomania can cause a person to become obsessed with a delusion that is not based in reality. John's belief that he was a famous musician was a single delusion that he believed to be true, even though there was no evidence to support it. This obsession caused him to lose his job and relationships, which is a common consequence of monomania.

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.
