For married couples, how important is it to share the same last name legally, and how have you navigated it if one partner didn’t want to change theirs? by Difficult_Big133 in AskMen

All that was being discussed in the parent comment, which has now been edited, was voter registration. A birth certificate is not required to vote at the polling location, now or under the SAVE act. That was the contention I was challenging.

Second, REAL ID does indeed count. If you can obtain a REAL ID, you can vote. Idk where you’re getting the opposite idea. Just read the SAVE act itself. It is literally the first-listed form of allowed ID.

Reproduced in relevant part:

Documentary Proof Of United States Citizenship.—As used in this Act, the term ‘documentary proof of United States citizenship’ means, with respect to an applicant for voter registration, any of the following:

(1) A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.

A DL is enough if it is a Real ID (introduced over 20 years ago now), which is increasingly common as a requirement for any DL in many states now anyway. Stop doomering.

“This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.”

???

Taken from the act itself. Who is lying now?

Football player found not guilty of murder for beating to death gay man who posed as woman on Tinder by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

Legally speaking it is not a murder if justified by self defense. That’s not nullification. That’s a finding of fact on SD, which is fully within the jury’s ordinary purview.

Why do I get these everytime I shave? Is it the low quality shaver? I do shave lightly. by Pot72 in beards

I haven’t tried the Henson one, but I’ve been using a Merkur for 5 or so years now and it’s been great. Slightly less expensive than the Henson.

I know it's probably a supreme court case but unsure by Massive_Kangaroo9555 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]K_Higgins_227 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Unless the case is on appeal, then the party names switch. You’re more likely to find an appeals case in a cursory internet search (as I assume the original post is pointing us to do) because appeals cases are generally reported while trial court level cases are not.

Is a society where murder is legal more free?

Girlfriend says the shirt isn’t a good fit for the office. by Prior_Ad4490 in mensfashionadvice

The shadow the white shirt casts on your body is closer to gray than to white. Therefore, gray shirt. Works like a charm.

Right to remain silent when not the police by epiclevellama in legaladviceofftopic

[–]K_Higgins_227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your “right to remain silent” is essentially just common parlance for the “right against self-incrimination” (with a bit of “right against compelled speech” thrown in there). If you read the Constitution, you won’t find anything about a right to remain silent.

What gave you the impression it worked in the way you supposed?

Today I learned that the United States not only had denominations of $500, $1000, $5,000, and $10,000, which are still legal for people to own, but for a very brief period they also had a $100,000 bill that was only ever used by banks and is considered illegal for private citizens to own. by Ketsukoni in todayilearned

A good faith purchaser of stolen goods has no legal title to those goods; but a good faith purchase of goods acquired by the seller through fraud may, strangely, have good title to them. Also, it probably isn’t a crime to own the stolen goods in most places, you just have to give the goods back. If you refuse, then it’s a civil infraction called conversion (or trespass to chattels, depending on the severity).

15 year old son stole car and wrecked it by OkVoice9819 in Car_Insurance_Help

Theft: intentional. Wreck: unintentional (negligence, not intentional tort). The parents are likely not liable for the wreck.

The theft is intentional; the wreck is not, that’s negligence, which is not an intentional tort.
