A quick definition of reason to know:

Term: Reason to Know

Definition: Reason to know means having enough information that a person with average intelligence or even a person with superior intelligence can assume that a fact exists or has a substantial chance of existing if they exercise reasonable care.

Simply put, if someone has enough information to reasonably believe that something is true, then they have a reason to know it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Reason to know refers to information that would lead a person of average or superior intelligence to believe that a particular fact exists or has a high probability of existing. This information is such that if the person exercises reasonable care, they can assume the fact exists.

  • If a person sees a wet floor sign in front of a store, they have a reason to know that the floor may be slippery and they should be careful while walking.
  • If a person hears a weather forecast predicting heavy rain, they have a reason to know that there may be flooding in low-lying areas.
  • If a person receives an email from their bank asking them to update their account information, they have a reason to know that their account may be at risk of fraud and they should take appropriate measures to protect it.

These examples illustrate how reason to know is based on information that is available to a person and that they can use to make informed decisions. In each case, the person has access to information that suggests a particular fact or situation exists, and they can take steps to protect themselves or avoid potential harm.

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.
