privileged communication

Read a random definition: preponderance of the evidence

A quick definition of privileged communication:

Privileged communication: A type of confidential communication that is protected by law and cannot be disclosed without the consent of the person who made the communication. This means that certain professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, and therapists, cannot be forced to reveal information that their clients or patients have shared with them in confidence.

A more thorough explanation:

Privileged communication refers to a type of communication that is protected by law and cannot be disclosed without the consent of the person who made the communication. This means that the person who received the communication cannot be forced to testify about it in court or share it with others.

For example, a doctor-patient relationship is considered privileged communication. This means that anything a patient tells their doctor during a medical appointment is confidential and cannot be shared with anyone else without the patient's permission. Similarly, a lawyer-client relationship is also privileged communication, meaning that anything a client tells their lawyer is confidential and cannot be shared with others.

These examples illustrate how privileged communication is an important aspect of maintaining trust and confidentiality in certain professional relationships. It allows individuals to feel comfortable sharing sensitive information without fear of it being used against them.

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.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
