The US reservation system doesn’t prevent those living on the reservation from having money, nor does it prevent assistance by the Police, Welfare, Education, Taxation and Medical Services.
Sure it does. Well, not medical services.
As a person with relatives who lives on reservations (well, rancherias here in California), I can tell you that none of that is true. They have police, large numbers of the people live on welfare, and they most certainly have education.
Yes, but all of those things are provided by the tribe, not by the feds or state government (with the possible exception of welfare.)
ETA: on further review, rancherias are sort of unique and do not operate like reservations.
Well, it’s just another noxious species and Australia quite evidently collects those, so…
There is a comment that follows,
This will entail the recording and conversion of all monetary assets from Australian dollars to Australian War Dollars. This will include cash as well as bank accounts, etc. Thereafter for the duration of the war, all commercial activity will be conducted in AWD. At the conclusion of the war, AWD will be exchanged for Australian Dollars taking into consideration the assets that were recorded at the start of the war. Obviously, racketeers will be most upset when they find they cannot convert their ill-gotten gains into hard cash and their surplus AWD are worthless.
The section that follows dictates that at the beginning of a war, all assets and debts are frozen. Presumably, this is also to make it harder for the nefarious enemy to mess with the domestic economy, for instance, by flooding the markets with counterfeit money. And, I would guess, to disincentivize casual military action (like sending good Aussie boys to die in distant deserts).

There are also some Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education schools. I have some familiarity with Sherman High School in Riverside. (Although interesting to note that much of its funding comes from a grant from the San Manuel reservation…which derives from Indian Gaming income.)
(In my opinion Casinos on Indian reservations is one of the greatest things ever. It has lifted tens of thousands of people out of abject poverty…and entirely on a voluntary basis. People like to go and throw their money away on gambling, and the money could hardly go to a better cause!)
The current population is 22.68 million.
I can’t tell if there are 680,000+ people they intend to throw out, or if they have just enough self awareness to know that people will be fleeing their Bigotopia in droves, while still being deluded enough to think that there are fewer than a million people who would emigrate to escape their regime.
The first half of the proposal is more or less just the Continental system of judicial procedure, which does actually have some serious benefits like cutting down on excessive procedures. The second half of the proposal is more or less just kind of weird.
And the other pressing question; how is the “right” enforced or breached?
Loving the whole get rid of the common law because from now on judges will be making decisions based solely on the facts. Could have saved Ipp a lot of bother.
I read your OP, and I noticed that you have personally decided to ignore things such as facts, reasoning, understanding.
Islam has declared war on you?
It is neither a person, nor a government, nor a united entity of any kind. I would wager that 99% of Muslims or more aren’t at war with your country, at the very least.
You know, there are some crackpots who live in Idaho who believe the US government is Satan and must be slain, and they like to pretend they’re in a resistance army. They might even consider themselves at war with the US government. Any actual war would result in their little compound being obliterated with one missile, and all persons involved dying instantly.
We have crackpots too, and I don’t spend my life worrying about them. Give them a beard and call them Muslim and suddenly people fear them, even though their odds of being struck and killed by a drunk driver are massively, massively higher, and wouldn’t lift a finger about that issue.
I know there are people who write manifestos about replacing current governments with racist and xenophobic ones, or folks who want us to reverse the industrial revolution and return to like an agrarian economy.
Those people are widely known to be crackpots.
Were you aware that political parties are made up of the People who decide what kind of government they want?
Yeah, but people like you are mostly harmless and laughably ineffective at everything you do.
Ridiculing you mercilessly for a few seconds, then going about our lives.
I didn’t know plants practiced religion. I thought they were like children, who come into this world without any crackpot ideas, not yet corrupted by their insane overlords. The beauty of plants is that they *stay *that way.
Oh… you meant spy or double-agent. Well, pretty sure he could have killed a bunch of us with drones by now, so my answer is no.
You might want to spend a little time out of the sun, it has clearly boiled your brain and made you have messianic delusions, much like the prophets of old.
That’s usually called the inquisitorial judicial function, and tends to be a feature of civil law systems.
That is the civil law system, and it’s not some kind of crackpot idea; it’s how legal systems based on Roman and Napoleonic law generally work. By “making decisions solely on the facts”, they mean judges don’t make law. They simply apply legislation. Of course, in practice some level of interpretation is necessary, so nearly all civil law systems feature elements of common law.
The “civil law” part is the part that’s neither military nor criminal. The inquisitorial criminal system and the civil non-criminal system tend to go together but they’re different parts of the whole thing.
And “cutting down on procedures”, well… bureaucracy comes from the French, you know… the backlogs in countries with inquisitorial/civil systems aren’t what I’d call short.
No, the term civil law has two meanings in English: the area of law that governs private interactions (the one you are referring to), and the system of law based on the Napoleonic Code (the one I’m referring to.)
Huh?
My comment was made tongue in cheek and intended to indicate that “judges making decisions based on the facts” is a simple solution for simple people.
I linked to the Ipp report in case you weren’t Australian and therefore most likely unaware of it.
Fair enough, but it really does cut down on procedures. Because the judge directs proceedings to a greater degree, s/he can decide not to go into particular legal issues over which there is no plausible dispute. There also are fewer (and higher quality) expert witnesses, because the judge initially gets to pick them. A lot of common law reforms are, in effect, about handing those kinds of powers to the judge to save time and money.
“Making decisions solely on the facts” is not a great description of civil law, but your explanation is quite correct. Of course, the actual quote from the draft Constitution (“the letter of the law is a secondary consideration”) is entirely contrary to civil law.
