unreasonable

Read a random definition: judicial activity report

A quick definition of unreasonable:

The word "unreasonable" means doing something that is not sensible or goes beyond what is expected. For example, if someone does something that most people would not consider to be smart or logical, it could be called unreasonable. In legal cases, if the evidence presented is not clear enough for the average person to understand and agree with, it would be considered unreasonable. An unreasonable search or seizure is when the police go beyond what is allowed by the law to search or take someone's property.

A more thorough explanation:

The term “unreasonable” refers to any action or result that goes beyond what is considered reasonable or common sense. In legal cases, it is often used to determine liability or the validity of evidence.

Criminal Cases: In a criminal case, if the evidence presented by the prosecutor is not clear enough for the average person to understand and agree with, it would be considered unreasonable. For example, if the prosecution claims that the defendant committed a crime without providing any evidence to support their claim, it would be unreasonable to expect a conviction.

Tort Cases: In a tort case, a reasonable person is used as a standard to determine liability for negligence. For example, if a driver fails to stop at a red light and causes an accident, they would be considered negligent because a reasonable person would have stopped at the red light.

Search and Seizure: An unreasonable search and seizure is one that goes beyond what is constitutionally protected. For example, if a police officer searches a person's home without a warrant or probable cause, it would be considered unreasonable because it violates the Fourth Amendment.

These examples illustrate how the term “unreasonable” is used in legal contexts to determine liability, validity of evidence, and constitutional protections.

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.
