  1. #AndrewMountbattenWindsor is being investigated for "Misconduct in Public Office" (#MiPO) as a Trade Envoy.

    The #CPS explains the #CommonLaw offence of MiPO at bit.ly/CPS-MiPO. Lord Charlie Falconer adds extra detail on #TRiP episide 503 at youtu.be/sfug2y5NFMs?t=284s : being an active Prince would not count as a "public office" for these purposes, because the duties are not clearly defined.

    This is a massive constitutional loophope. All #workingRoyals should be legally accountable.

  6. I have had this nagging question about why federal impeachment cases in the US are tried by the Senate, rather than the Supreme Court. I am reading pages 15 to 25 of this article from 1970, which not only clarify the rationale for the current process of impeachment, but may also explain why securing a conviction is so rare.

  7. Common-Law Separation in Ontario

    Navigating #CommonLaw separation requires understanding your rights to property division and potential spousal support. Unlike married couples, common-law partners must prove contribution to shared assets.

    After living together for 3+ years (or 1+ with a child), you gain certain legal protections.

  8. Here's a valid addition to the +190,000-page US Code of Federal Regulations: a requirement for regulators to only enforce laws and amendments passed by Congress and in ways that minimally impinge on our natural rights. Regulate regulation. Until then, feel free to take the rules to court if and whenever they tread on *your* rights.

    In den #USA haben #Calvinismus und #Sozialdarwinismus Tradition. Durch die Machtposition von Richtern, durch die Übernahme des Britischen Rechtskreises mit seinem #CommonLaw und ihren #WinnerTakesItAll Regeln im Wahlrecht, (#ElectoralCollege), wird deutlich, dass das amerikanische Demokratieverständnis aristokratisch orientiert ist. Das ist nicht neu. Das war so, als die Indianer weichen mussten, zur Zeit der Eisenbahn-Tycoone, der Sklaverei - nur nicht z.Z. des kalten Krieges.
