Supplemental Jurisdiction

Read a random definition: heirloom

A quick definition of Supplemental Jurisdiction:

Supplemental Jurisdiction: When a court can hear more than one claim in a lawsuit, even if they don't usually have the power to do so. This only happens if the court has the power to hear at least one of the claims, and if all the claims are related to the same basic facts. It's like if you were playing a game and the rules said you could only play with one toy, but if the toys were all related to each other, you could play with more than one.

A more thorough explanation:

Supplemental jurisdiction is a way for federal courts to hear claims that they would not normally have the power to hear. This only happens when a lawsuit has more than one claim, and the federal court has the right to hear at least one of them because of diversity jurisdiction or federal question jurisdiction. If the other claims are related to the first claim, the court may choose to hear them as well.

Let's say someone sues a company for discrimination in federal court. The court has the power to hear this claim because it is a federal question. However, the person also wants to sue the company for breach of contract, which is not a federal question. If the discrimination claim and the breach of contract claim are related, the court may choose to hear both claims under supplemental jurisdiction.

Another example could be a case where someone sues a company for personal injury in federal court because the injury happened on federal property. The court has the power to hear this claim because of federal question jurisdiction. However, the person also wants to sue the company for property damage, which is not a federal question. If the personal injury claim and the property damage claim are related, the court may choose to hear both claims under supplemental jurisdiction.

These examples illustrate how supplemental jurisdiction allows federal courts to hear related claims that they would not normally have the power to hear.

I think tik tok is evil and coming from a national defense background, working in PSYOP and in the intelligence community I can promise it is.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Yeah but like half the general officers are compromised so we might as well just give this country to China already. The head of the JAG corps used to tell us how much he loved Tiktok and he was a 1 star. These people should be court martialed. I hope Trump follows through on that promise the most.
it was 80 degrees three days ago and now it's like pouring rain sleet and wind

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19
