Rider

Read a random definition: defendant's gain

A quick definition of Rider:

A rider is an extra document that adds to or changes the main document. It can add new rules or options to a contract, like giving someone the choice to buy a property they're renting. In government, a rider is an extra rule or law that gets added onto a bill, even if it doesn't really fit with the main idea of the bill.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A rider is an additional document that modifies or supplements the primary document. It can add new terms to a contract or amend existing ones. In legislative contexts, a rider is an amendment to a bill that is not directly related to the bill's main purpose.

Example: In Blackburn Food Corp. v. Ardi, Inc., a lease contained a rider that gave tenants the option to purchase the premises. This rider added a new term to the lease agreement that was not originally included.

Example: In a legislative context, a bill that funds a program may have a rider attached to it that changes the permanent law governing that program. For example, a bill that funds a healthcare program may have a rider attached to it that changes the eligibility requirements for that program.

Explanation: Both examples illustrate how a rider can modify or supplement a primary document. In the first example, the rider added a new term to the lease agreement that gave tenants the option to purchase the premises. In the second example, the rider changed the permanent law governing a program that was funded by a bill. Both examples show how a rider can be used to make changes to a document or law that are not directly related to the main purpose of that document or law.

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.
