Privileges and Immunities Clause

Read a random definition: Codex Justinianus

A quick definition of Privileges and Immunities Clause:

The Privileges and Immunities Clause is a part of the Constitution that says people who live in one state should have the same rights as people who live in other states. This means that states cannot treat people from other states unfairly. The clause protects important rights like being safe, having property, and being able to travel freely. Some people think it protects other rights too, but it is not completely clear. The clause is very important for keeping the states united and treating everyone fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

The Privileges and Immunities Clause is a part of the United States Constitution that protects the fundamental rights of individual citizens and restrains state efforts to discriminate against out-of-state citizens. It is found in Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution and states that "the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states."

For example, if a citizen of New York travels to California, they are entitled to the same rights and protections as a citizen of California. This means that they can vote, own property, and enjoy the same freedoms as a citizen of California. The Privileges and Immunities Clause ensures that states cannot discriminate against citizens from other states and must treat them equally under the law.

However, the Privileges and Immunities Clause only applies to fundamental rights and not all commercial activity. This means that while citizens are entitled to the same basic rights in every state, they may not be entitled to the same business or economic opportunities.

The purpose of the Privileges and Immunities Clause is to promote unity and friendship among the states and to ensure that citizens are treated fairly and equally, regardless of where they live. It is an important part of the Constitution that helps to protect the rights and freedoms of all Americans.

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.
