A quick definition of possessory interest:

Term: Possessory interest

Definition: Possessory interest means that someone has the right to use or occupy a piece of land or property, but they don't own it. It's like renting a house or apartment. The person with the possessory interest can control the property, but they have to follow certain rules. Sometimes, the government can tax the possessory interest, especially if it's for government property that someone is using.

A more thorough explanation:

Possessory interest

Possessory interest refers to the right of an individual to occupy or possess a piece of property, even though they do not own it. This means that the person has some present right to control the property, such as a lease or rental agreement.

For example, if you rent an apartment, you have a possessory interest in the property. You have the right to live there and use the space, but you do not own the apartment.

Possessory interest can also arise in situations where a person or entity has temporary use of government-owned property. In these cases, the possessory interest may be taxable.

For instance, if a business is granted a possessory interest in a piece of government-owned land to build a parking lot, they may be required to pay taxes on the value of that interest.

Overall, possessory interest refers to the right to possess and control property, even if you do not own it outright.

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.
