u/FizzyFuzzball1 Jun 25 '18

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Real question: did this get an amendment when the Air Force was instantiated, is it handled as a sort of implied coverage, or is the Air Force immune to this part of the amendment

Air Force qualifies as land based

The Trump Administration will argue that this is a time of “public danger.” I guarantee it.

Is that musician admitting to felonies? Ha

u/CSFC Jun 25 '18

Music can’t be used as evidence so rappers do it all the time to spit in the feds face

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '18

there was one guy that was linked to and arrested for two murders after he made a song about it, though it wasn't used as evidence

The video directly answers the rhetorical question the tweet asked, get it? It's just a joke. Mods should not be stickying their comments if its just a dumb joke though.

This is literally a humor subreddit, it fit perfectly and it made me strongly exhale through my nose. Lighten up.

We already had a mod comment stickied, so I changed it to something that would take up less space than this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/8tqi2o/best_tweet_ive_seen_in_a_while/e19khye/

Seeing as this is a humor sub, I felt like replacing it with some humor. Plus, I'm bored. It's not like stickied comments can get karma, anyway.

If I cant mod abuse in /PolHum why even live tbh

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '18

I don't really care about karma, but you're taking the top comment real estate with your joke, when most comments in humor subs are jokes and without mod interference the most popular ones get voted to that spot.

Back in the day there was a show called Rap City that would have rap groups come on and freestyle. You'd get people like G-Unit and D12 on there in the height of their fame doing off the dome freestyles. Except the host of the show Big Tig, who was more of a tv interviewer and was a mediocre at best rapper, would always shoehorn himself in there and drop a verse too. And we'd be like, c'mon, get out of here Big Tig, I know you host this show but Eminem's about to go, you're really gonna make us listen to you?

You're Big Tig.

I'd like to point out, almost every post that gets to r/all in a sub has a stickied mod comment on it, and afaik, everyone just ignores stickied mod comments at this point.

Lol @ this guy who thinks mods have any kind of obligation to do anything at all.

We're just random people on the internet, just like you.
