Jul 3 at 8:01 comment added Morisco @shoover Thanks, this is interesting. From what Google says - supercede and supersede both exist, but mean somewhat different things.

Jul 2 at 15:17 comment added shoover I don't think I can make a single-character change, so can the next person to edit this change the word in the title to supersede? Fun fact: "supersede" is the only word in the English language that ends in -sede. There are three common ones that end in -ceed: exceed, proceed, succeed. All others end in -cede. Thus endeth the English lesson for the day.

Jul 2 at 13:30 comment added got trolled too much this week FWTW/FYI, regarding the Trump case youtu.be/Dc4_RFeKaz4?t=97 And more generally relevant, many Western countries have moved away from the (US-style) principle that prosecution is a monolithic power of the executive branch. There was a Q here about that...
Jul 2 at 13:13 comment added got trolled too much this week TBH the Trump example and the other ones aren't that closely related. SCOTUS didn't decide that Trump can kill whomever he wants in office. And getting killed in a warzone basically (al-Awlakis), is not that uncommon, nor generally illegal for some classes. You may quibble around the def of 'enemy combatant' etc.
Jul 2 at 13:03 comment added Morisco @StackExchangeSupportsIsrael yes, as per my earlier comment - where it is actually illegal.
Jul 2 at 12:39 comment added Stack Exchange Supports Israel Realistically: in all countries. Are you asking in which ones it's illegal, even though they can still do it?
Jul 2 at 11:24 comment added Morisco @dEmigOd de facto yes - they surely do. But do they do it legally or do they violate their own laws?
Jul 2 at 10:53 comment added Steve Melnikoff If internment counts as "violating individual rights", then the list could be quite long, and would include the US and UK, among many others.
Jul 2 at 10:45 comment added dEmigOd go back 4 years, and look for a nation, which did NOT violate such a right. The answer is all of them can violate whatever they find necessary right on the spot.
Jul 2 at 10:21 comment added Morisco @Cadence good point. I suggest limiting it to life and liberty or other cases where the violation can be easily proven/evident. Also, what rights are included in fundamental rights varies from place to place
Jul 2 at 9:50 comment added Cadence When you say "violate individual rights", do you solely mean life and liberty, as in your example, or do you mean any fundamental right?
