Read a random definition: payer

A quick definition of Sixth Amendment:

The Sixth Amendment is a part of the United States Constitution that was added in 1791. It gives people who are accused of a crime the right to a trial that is quick and open to the public. They also have the right to know what they are being accused of, to question the people who are accusing them, to have a lawyer to help them, and to make sure that they can get witnesses to help their case.

A more thorough explanation:

The Sixth Amendment is a part of the United States Constitution that was added to the Bill of Rights in 1791. It guarantees certain rights to people who are accused of crimes in the United States.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the following rights:

  • The right to a speedy and public trial by jury
  • The right to be informed of the nature of the accusation
  • The right to confront witnesses
  • The right to counsel
  • The right to compulsory process for obtaining favorable witnesses

For example, if someone is accused of a crime, they have the right to a trial that is held quickly and is open to the public. They also have the right to know exactly what they are being accused of and to confront any witnesses who are testifying against them. They have the right to have a lawyer represent them and to call witnesses who can help their case.

These rights are important because they help to ensure that people who are accused of crimes are treated fairly and have a fair chance to defend themselves in court.

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.
