The Constitution says "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." SCOTUS isn't ignoring the Constitution for once.

In practice it doesn't matter. If he makes a shell company, the state can seize/lien his ownership thereof and then force a sale of the property anyway.

Then also split California and Illinois and New York and Georgia and Florida

This only applies to the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act, so if the parents agree, it's legal.

While true, this is just a New York Supreme Court decision. He can still appeal to the Appellate Division then to the New York Court of Appeals. I can't imagine he'll get it turned over, but there's a chance the amount might be lowered or something.

Uh, I don't think New York law provides for debtors' prisons anymore. Those went out of style in the 1700s.

The way a court actually handles an unpaid judgment is it just orders the seizure of any property the debtor does own. It doesn't need permission.

I mean, they released the evidence. It's pretty impossible to deny he's a terrorist unless you're sticking your head in the sand.

What does the government do with all the extra revenue? Theoretically it should be able to reduce other taxes proportionally so that those with low carbon usage come out ahead instead of just being a negative for everyone.

Nope, during COVID they stopped taking or checking photos. They've had to spend the last few months getting everyone to get a new card now.

That's not how that works. Guardianship is a totally separate concept. To be married, someone would be simultaneously emancipated and legally treated as an adult from thenceforth.

I wasn't trying to be misleading. I was just to trying to counter what I thought was very misleading language. When someone says a man has "a kid in his home" as an underaged spouse, the scenario that pops into your mind isn't that it's a 17-year-old emancipated girl who's just married her 18-year-old boyfriend, which is essentially the only legal scenario in Florida.

The laws have been restricted a lot in the last few years, so that isn't really relevant anymore. California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Washington are the only states without a minimum marriage age.

And I was just talking about Florida like in the article. It is one of the strictest states on child marriage in the country.
