jacob hunter! Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 don't find that funny.... Anyways if she was smart enough, she could have just went to the police before he was getting alot more violent with her. Quote
larrythehamster Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 [...]Sentencing him, Mr Justice MacDuff said:[...] Wait WHAT?A judge named JUSTICE? Justice MacDuff could be a superhero name No. In the UK a judge is given a formal title of "Mr Justice" followed by the surname. So for example Barack Obama if he became a UK judge would be formally called Mr Justice Obama Quote

So for example Barack Obama if he became a UK judge would be formally called Mr Justice Obama Bad example, since it's illegal for a public servant to accept a title:No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Either argue with me, or tell me not to be pedantic, but don't do both. Read the second half of that clause. He can't accept it while maintaining his office. Bak, a gift is totally different than a title (at least as far as that part of the constitution is concerned). Quote

I never noticed that part before (it is called the title of nobility clause, after all). I guess he had to have the consent of congress to accept it, unless it was a gift to the United States, rather than to the President himself. Quote

rootbear75 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Posted August 3, 2009 i LOVE how this topic turned out... From a stabbed model to arguing whether or not the President can or can't accept gifts..... Only on SSForum Quote
Lisa Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 don't find that funny.... Anyways if she was smart enough, she could have just went to the police before he was getting alot more violent with her. She was probably too scared. It happens. Quote
