- Yes --- the substance was legal under federal law so the mere act of the state conviction isn't enough. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 12:09
- No. I think the parenthetical relates to a law as defined under Federal law not a controlled substance. -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 12:08 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - So could the "as defined" refer to whether a "foreign law" is considered legal? Like government entity vs. tribal custom? -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:14 1
      - [deleted]
- If only ODB were still around, he probably knew the answer to this. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 10, 11:59
- yes. the federal law doesn't say anything about illegal vs. illegal substance. only its controlled ness. -- nm - amanda Sep 10, 11:55 1
  - oh, I meant no. the rest of my statement stands. (I love law quiz.) -- nm - amanda Sep 10, 11:59
- The I read this, the person is not eligible. -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 11:55
- Assuming food stamps are issued by the federal government and not some state program, no -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 11:52 1
  - sorry, I misread that. yes -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 11:53
- yes. - znufrii Sep 10, 11:50
- Are there any substances controlled by states that aren't controlled under federal law? -- nm - Max Sep 10, 11:48 22
  - does booze count? (you live in Virginia!) -- nm - loosilu Sep 10, 11:51
  - [deleted] 20
    - so if you get cited for having too many recyclables in your garbage (technically wouldn't that be a controlled substance?) -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:53 19
      - [deleted] 18
        
        so we would prefer a strung out person with diminished prospects of a job ... go hungry? please note, the amount you get on food stamps doesn't - zeitgeist Sep 10, 12:00 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        someone with a criminal record for drug possession has a harder time getting a job, and applying for food stamps usually indicates that....so we would - zeitgeist Sep 10, 12:04 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't think Jack's asking for our opinions on the justness or effectiveness of the law, just its application as worded. -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 12:05
        
        If the Food Stamp rule were only limited to Federal rules, it would not include state or foreign. "Or." Not eligible for food stamps. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 11:58 12
        
        [deleted] 11
        
        Are judges allowed to (and if so, do they) refer to government transcripts made before a law is passed to aid in determining the intent of the law? - Max Sep 10, 12:05 7
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        heh, son of a bitch! -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:09
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I don't find it to be ambiguous at all in this case. -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 12:09 3
        
        It would be less ambiguous without the parentheticals. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:10 1
        
        but it would also make the restriction unworkably broad, imho. -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 12:13
        
        (which means I'm probably wrong) - znufrii Sep 10, 12:10
        
        I read that as connected only to the foreign law phrase. That's a tricky comma. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 12:01 2

- Easily a jet over a yacht. I just don't love being on a boat. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 11:43
- yacht -- nm - decline Sep 10, 11:42
- Neither. Owning is a big hassle. Maybe a netjets type program but that's about it. -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 11:42 2
  - Exactly. Charter, rent, whatever. Let someone else hassle the ownership details. - Meg Sep 10, 11:46
  - And I would do this over owning as well. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 11:43
- jet. -- nm - Andie Sep 10, 11:42
- yacht -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:41
- neither -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 11:40

- Yacht Yacht Yacht. You could have some seriously awesome times on a private yacht -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 11:40 6
  - I wonder how much yacht bimbos cost and where you get them. -- nm - Mop on Galaxy SIII Sep 10, 11:51 1
    - Tara Reid is available. -- nm - loosilu Sep 10, 12:05
  - You could fly to new places every week to have awesome times! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:48
  - This is the right answer, because if you jump off the back of your jet into the water, it'll hurt. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 11:47
  - [deleted]
  - word. (I just dumped groiny via email. we should date.) -- nm - amanda Sep 10, 11:41
- If I had $10 million to spend, a yacht. If I had $50 million to spend, jet. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 11:40
- can I say neither? - groiny Sep 10, 11:40 3

- or "Grimey," as he liked to be called.... -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 11:35 12
  - I thought it was Optimus Grimes? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 10, 12:04
  - Now David will have to hear this up to 19 fewer times this year. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 10, 11:39 10
    - Please. You average at least 3 a game. - David Sep 10, 12:05
    - [deleted] 8
      - It undoes the genius of the Asante Samuel acquisition. And I'm pretty sure the injury happened after the game had been decided. -- nm - David Sep 10, 12:07 7
        
        He was on a 1-year deal too, I think? Ouch. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 10, 12:09 6
        
        Right, they cannot re-franchise him. It happened on a 3rd and 6 with 9 minutes left. The score was 40-17. - David Sep 10, 12:12 4
        
        I am also realizing now that his backup, Chris Owens, threw three punches and is facing a likely NFL suspension. - David Sep 10, 12:14 3

- So, what was your favorite Brent Grimes moment, David? -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 11:34
You *know* it! -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 11:32 5
- I wish I didn't. -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:33
- Maybe, but I don't like it -- nm - amoxy Sep 10, 11:33
- I know, right?? -- nm - amanda Sep 10, 11:32 2
  - (wait. you *were* talking to me, right?) -- nm - amanda Sep 10, 11:33 1
