Skwirl posted:I think only the President is barred from being a convicted felon by the constitution, but states are given a lot of leeway on how they elect their Senators and Congress people, so there might be state restrictions. States are not given a lot of leeway and may impose no additional restrictions on federal candidates than the constitution specifies. We found that out when states tried to put term limits in place for their congressional representatives.

According to that article all Mueller is required to do is give his report to his boss, which since Sessions has recused himself in this matter is currently Rosenstein. There are apparently some tricks he could use to make sure it ends up being seen by congress, which means the whole thing would leak in about two minutes though should he choose to do that. One of those tricks is to put what he wants people to know in an indictment.

Leperflesh posted:Generally, you can't make very broad and generic trademarks. They have to be specific and recognizable and distinct. There are at least 9 different federally registered trademarks for just a color, including but not limited to (a) the color pink for residential fiberglass insulation (U.S. Reg. No. 1439132) and (b) the color brown for the transportation and delivery of personal property by air and motor vehicle (U.S. Reg. No. 2901090). Leperflesh posted:There are two other kinds of legally protected intellectional property in the US - patents, and trade secrets - but I don't think we need to go into those here. Don't forget state law (and therefore non-copyright) protections for pre-1972 sound recordings, plant patents, design patents (neither of which is what people normally think of as a patent), and rights of publicity.
