A quick definition of stand trial:

Term: STAND TRIAL

Definition: When someone is accused of a crime, they have to go to court to prove whether they did it or not. This is called standing trial. It's like a big meeting where a judge and jury listen to all the evidence and decide if the person is guilty or not.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To participate in a legal process, especially a criminal trial.

Example 1: The defendant will stand trial next month for the charges of theft and fraud.

Example 2: The victim was asked to testify in court after the suspect agreed to stand trial for the assault.

These examples illustrate the definition of "stand trial" by showing how a person accused of a crime must participate in a legal process to determine their guilt or innocence. In both examples, the accused person is facing criminal charges and must appear in court to stand trial. The legal process involves presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making arguments to a judge or jury.

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

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

23:02

i am not that sympathetic to him

Dkk

23:04

@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.

Dkk

23:05

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.
