The decision [1] includes the court's full justification for setting aside ejusdem generis, starting at the bottom of page 20. As I understand it: The short answer is the legislature changed the statutory definition on more than one oc

When you renew your passport, you can also get a passport card for an extra $30 or something. They're only good for land/sea crossings (no flights) from US to Canada, Mexico, but you can put it in your wallet. The downside is agai

Many states will issue "non-driver ID cards" (examples below), which are typically cheaper than a drivers license, but which still involve the same level of proving who you are before you can get one (involving showing passport&#x

I hope Ingenuity can survive the Martian winter, but even if it does not, it has been a massively successful mission. Everybody who contributed to it must be incredibly proud of how well it has done!
