A quick definition of uniform law:

A uniform law is a law that is created by a group of lawyers from different backgrounds to help solve legal problems that need a lot of expertise or need to be the same across different states. The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) makes these laws and hopes that states will adopt them. Some examples of uniform laws are the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Uniform Simultaneous Death Act. To learn more about the ULC and their current proposals, click here.

A more thorough explanation:

Uniform laws are laws that are created by a group of lawyers from different backgrounds. The goal is for states to adopt these laws so that legal issues can be addressed consistently across different states. The Uniform Law Commission (ULC) is responsible for creating these laws.

Examples of uniform laws include the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Uniform Simultaneous Death Act. The UCCJEA helps determine which state has jurisdiction over child custody cases when parents live in different states. The Uniform Simultaneous Death Act helps determine how to distribute property when two people die at the same time.

These laws are important because they help ensure that legal issues are addressed consistently across different states. This can help prevent confusion and ensure that people are treated fairly under the law, no matter where they live.

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.
