Well his manifesto said it wasn’t terrorism after all. No reason to question such a fine upstanding citizen.

From the 1960s, it uses vacuum tubes and weighs 7 tons

Clearly not, or you would know that Febreze and Snickers is far superior!

It’s a consequence of how courts interpret this part of the US constitution. That provision was based on common law so i would imagine some other related legal systems might have something similar, at least historically.

In the context specifically of nullification, the CGP Grey video referenced by OP covers exactly this, but to summarize: the combination of that rule with another principle (that juries can’t be punished for their decisions) creates the concept of “nullification”. If the jury believes that a defendant is guilty but returns a “not guilty” verdict, the defendant walks and the jury can’t be held legally responsible either.

In criminal cases, the rule against “double jeopardy” means the government can’t appeal a “not guilty” verdict. The defendant can still appeal a guilty verdict though.

That’s a funny way to spell “pardon from Trump”

It shouldn’t just be a cap either. Net worth topping $1B should just be a reset button. Automatic bankruptcy. It should be something to actively fear and avoid, not just a score to max out.
