When I try to download Android SDK Platform-Tools (with ADB) from the official site (https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools) it is required to accept the license that says (among others):

I was brainstorming who might have standing to see to bring such a suit. If a religious organization is directly supporting a political candidate's rival, would that grant standing to bring a suit?

Would a political candidate have standing to sue for a writ of mandamus for the IRS to enforce the Johnson amendment? |
You are right to focus on standing and discretion. Historically, there was also a sovereign immunity issue. I believe the canadidate you describe would get around the standing problem. Sovereign immunity has been waived for large swaths of IRS action.

If you plan to sue, you have to identify a legally cognizable injury in the complaint. So I guess you are asking us to first devise a plausible injury to the candidate coming from the IRS action, and then see if that really gives them standing.

I know that generally if you own a company you can just dissolve it, however can Twitter have certain rules set up in their selling contract or perhaps because it's such a large company, can they somehow stop Elon Musk from just dissolving the company if he felt like it? |
Could Elon Musk dissolve Twitter now that he owns it? |
## Elon Musk doesn't own Twitter ##
He is part of a consortium of investors that own it. What he can and can't do with it will be constrained by any agreements that exist between those investors and, as CEO, a duty to all of the shareholders and to the company itself.

Enforcement of that clause has its limitations. The keywords in the clause are *disparage* and *discredit*, each of which warrants a separate analysis.
[Black's Law Dictionary][1] defines *disparagement* [of goods] as:

> Is it legal to sell currency at a price lower than face value?
Yes. In fact, *to donate* is the act of transferring *for free* the ownership of something. Outlawing a transaction that is less extreme than a donation would be inconsistent with the lawfulness of donations.

Asking if selling money for less than the face value of money is illegal is like asking if you can get a speeding ticket if a cop clocks you going faster than light.

This question mixes up two separate although related issues:

2. Is a public school allowed to include such in its curriculum, or does the First Amendment's Establishment Clause forbid that?
The answer hinted at in the ... |
