A quick definition of State court:

A state court is a court that makes decisions about the laws in a specific state. Each state has its own courts, and the highest court is usually called the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's decisions are very important and must be followed by all other state courts. If someone doesn't like a decision made by a lower court, they can ask a higher court to review it. Federal courts and the Supreme Court of the United States make decisions about national laws and the U.S. Constitution.

A more thorough explanation:

A state court is a type of court that has jurisdiction within a specific state's territory. These courts are responsible for interpreting and enforcing the laws and constitution of the state. The highest court within a state is usually called the Supreme Court, and its decisions are binding on all other state courts.

For example, the Supreme Court of California is the highest court in California. It hears cases that have been appealed from lower courts and makes decisions that are final and binding on all other courts in the state.

State courts also have trial courts, which are sometimes called Circuit or District Courts. These courts hear cases that are brought before them and make decisions based on the evidence presented. For example, a family court is a type of state court that only deals with legal matters related to families, such as divorce and child custody.

If a party is dissatisfied with the decision of a trial court, they can appeal the decision to the corresponding state's appellate court. This court will review the decision and determine whether it was made correctly based on the law and evidence presented.

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.
