Hayoung Park, 🤭 The ’TURTLES’ on Turtle Island ..??🤔 Was he referring to the states/(e)states /the people !?!?

Becca Wells These courts are operating as brokerage house and collecting ROYALTIES from everything copyrighted & Patented-including but limited to our DNA!! That’s my educated guess. The only BETRAYAL worse than this is that of the father of my children -who sacrificed our family unit to continue operating as a TOOL for these THIEVES!!!!😳😱🤯😭 🤮☠️

@@dorothyhome577 it was just a reference to a book by one of the hosts, calm down

then he says sorry lower courts haha

Moscow Mitch is a turtle. I hate that turtle.

phoenixthecookiemonster and probably you did it wrong :D

It requires lots and lots of practice. Also some laws are harder to read than others (I'm looking at you, tax law).

Mortimer Zabi Technically, tax "laws" arent laws... they are regulations. This is because they are written by an administrative agency in the EXECUTIVE branch. Only the legislative branch (for federal, Congress) can pass laws but when Congress in a law gives that power to the executive, they write "rules and regulations" Although to be fair there are tax laws written by congress but they are very broad. However the vast majority of the tax system is composed of the regulations written by the IRS. They do have the "power of law" though, presuming they dont contradict with anything Congress has specifically written so its not uncommon to colloquially refer to them as "laws"

Actually my point was that the Internal Revenue Code by itself is hard to interpret PRECISELY because it is broad and thus you NEED to go into jurisprudence and administrative regulations, especially when it comes to ticklish topics like the proper situs of taxation for interstate transactions, how to substantiate taxable deductions, etc. I did not mean to go into a discussion of administrative tax regulations since they can be very, very complicated and are better understood by accountants, not lawyers. Anyhow, not once did I contradict the video in any way. The video never discussed the concept of quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial powers in-depth and thus I never intended to venture into those topics since they're best discussed in a constitutional law course and not a general politics and governance course.

I see your administrative tax regulations and raise you with the complexity of EU law :D Mortimer Zabi Ddub1083 P.S. Tax law could be categorized as "law" and not only as regulations, as you suggested. :) It really depends on the jurisdiction, for example in the continental civil traditions you have taxation legislation, perscribed not only by agencies (with delegated regulatory/legislative powers) but also through the legislator itself. You also have tax laws stemming from EU law (e.g. Parents-Subsidiary Directive; Interests and Royalties directive; CCCTB), which are later being transposed within the national legal orders of the Member States again through the legislator. Moreover you could have national taxation laws stemming from the incorporation of bilateral double taxation treaties.

Turtles all the way down is a fairly common phrase meaning infinite regression. Though it's no coincidence for John to use the expression.

kellyloganme That said, Craig was really on this episode. Literally LOL at "Turtles all the way down..." :^D

davidkimlive I am a bill. Yes, I'm only a bill. And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.

Jeronimo Torres With that rhyme, I believe you are a poet yet did not know it.

Hollth ummm its from a song... So Im pretty certain the rhyme was intended...

... Bob Dylan. The name of the song escapes me.

why would own a book on how to be a hitman???

McKenzie855 Now I can't help but notice it

EXACTLY what I was thinking -.-

Advertising ;)

McKenzie855 There certainly is something in that cup... an estimated 400,000,000,000,000,000,000 (400 quintillion) molecules of air (oxygen, nitrogen, Co2 etc)

What? He doesn't need a reason to hold the cup

Dildo Baggins Duly noted, and expected.

Dildo Baggins So the fuck what?

Dildo Baggins so if it cant be applied to all countries dont talk about it, so absolutely nothing about government is ever allowed to be talked about in any way or infact anything at all. its a pbs show about the american legal system why you are shocked its about american laws shows your ignorance

psrdirector Fucking Europeans, I swear.

Dildo Baggins I am from Slovakia (bet you don't know where it is :) and I can't agree 1. There are many CrashCourse Whatevers so you can choose what you like 2. I enjoy US Government and Politics

Captain Possible I suggest you read a book.

Crass Frazier Are you half and stupid?

Michael M probably

Yea it is

Michael M Are you double thinking?

Teen Hankgst no... [SHIT the thought police are onto me, guess I just got to join the brotherhood]

HLandry428 The difference is as SpitfireMLG pointed out. Louisiana was originally a French colony and as party of the Louisiana land purchase they were granted the right to continue the use of the "Civil law" state legal system. Note that they didn't actually use the Napoleonic code itself, which was established in 1804 which was the year the land purchase was finalised. The Civil law system has two distinctions of note when compared to a common law nation (Great Britain and its former colonies such New Zealand and India) and the Civil law based on the Justinian Code. First judges can not bind a future court on there interpretation of the law. This is why it is said they only have statute law as only that based by the legislative is actual law. The second is the role of the judge in finding fact. The common law has something called the adversarial System, this is where the one side's legal representation fights in court over the "facts" and "law". The judge is neutral and only makes decisions based on what is shown by the opposing parties. In Civil law they have what is called the "inquisitorial system" where the Judge actually leads the investigation into the facts. Note that this a comparison of the theoretical systems and in practice countries have been know to adapt both.

Jacob Drum I think they meant that "also called torts" bit to refer to "personal injury" only, NOT to the whole phrase "contracts, property, and personal injury." But I agree that it could have been worded more clearly. Or Though Bubble could have punctuated it differently somehow.

Maybe. Also, many many federal crimes missed.

Actually, on reflection, you're right; I was wrong. But not about federal crimes.

iris martinez I like the way he sounded
