"Unimproved properties ... may be sold ... for any amount the owner can get"

A textual analysis leads to the conclusion that a property may NOT be sold for an amount LESS than what the owner can get. HTH

A canon of statutory interpretation is to look beyond the literal meaning of any one word. See, e.g., United States v. Singleton (10th Cir. 1999) (en banc), cert. denied, -- U.S. --.

Nope, because it still absorbs the plain meaning of the entire phrase. This is in sync with Scalia's book (A Matter of Interpretation, or whatever).

If you looked below, you'd be forced to acknowledge that "maximum" isn't a good candidate substitute for "any," no matter what non-literal crack you're smoking.

Nope, adding "reasonable" would be looking at legislative history / intent of the drafter.

I caught my mistake later. I believe Scalia's into "original intent," and thought our boy RWA would be as well.

That is often the difference between Thomas, Scalia, and Rehnquist, when they diverge.

Also, Scalia looks at the intent of the Framers but never the intent of Congress.

CT and Nino are the 7th most likely pair to vote together. The liberal bloc votes together more than they do.

Obviously CT-Nino-WHR are a bloc, and JPS-RBG-SGB-DHS are a bloc. But the racist left perpetuates the myth that CT is Nino's lapdog and votes with him every single time. The fact is that they're different relative to other pairings. And Brennan-Thurgood Marshall had like a 99.5% statistic (I think CT-Nino is about 93% over their 10+ years).

Are you sure about the 10 years of this Court? I'm not saying I know otherwise ... but if they were 7th (out of 36 possible combinations, I think) in one year, and 1st in another, they are well on their way to being 1st overall.

Of course, that doesn't mean they are the highest of all time. But still, they may be the highest, or one of the highest, on this Court.

FWIW, I found an old National Review article saying that in 94-99 it was:

DHS-RBG 84%

DHS-SGB 81%

CT-Scalia 80%

And it is clear that Thomas has diverged from Scalia much more in the last 5 years.

Sounds right to me (I had always heard that Souter and Ginsburg were up there with Thomas and Scalia, and I am not surprised to see Souter and Breyer as well on this list).

Incidentally, I have come to appreciate the important differences between Thomas and Scalia, and depending on the issue, I may think one or the other of them has the better side of the argument.

I don't know why Ginsburg-Breyer isn't also higher than CT-Scalia, based on the transitivity.

Yea, when they diverge, they often both have good arguments. Unlike Sandy, they actually craft a legal argument.

Obviously, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Souter are not all agreeing on the same 81-84% of the cases. Roughly, Ginsburg and Breyer could be agreeing on case anywhere from around 60-97% of the time, and because they aren't on that list it must be in the lower end of that range.

I personally like O'Connor's casuistry, but that is just me.

I don't get that. Doesn't "any" mean there are no exclusions?

"You may take any deal that you can get."

"You may only take the best deal that you can get."

Being a pre-existing creditor isn't required for a fraudulent conveyance. Courts consistently protect tort "creditors" for against conveyances made before torts have actually happened but are imminent.

"Creditor" means a person who has a claim. UFTA Sec 1(4).

"Claim" means a right to payment, whether or not the right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured. UTFA Sec 1(3).

There are indeed imminent torts that give rise to claims. But did you have a claim here?

You could conceptualize it based on the simple probabilities of the dice rolling those particular numbers. And you add in the P that she'll land on it the next time around, less the P that someone else will bankrupt her before then (negligible) and so on.

But you are loading the question to call those "liability" and "property" rules. They are actually just game rules. You are right that they are mechanically determinate, of course: If X happens, Y will result. And we can assign probabilities to X ... but that is outside the game story. Within the game story, I think we are supposed to talk about these as voluntary acts. In other words, we roll a die and determine that our person has decided to stay at a certain place. In truth, there is no "decision" involved ... again, the game is mechanical. But within the game story, the events are described as voluntary.

And of course, you can't apply the law outside the game story ... because it is just a game. You can only pretend that you are applying the law within the game story.

Rathr than " a series of discrete contracts which have not been made until the dice are rolled," what about a series of discrete contracts that HAVE been made for which performance is contingent on the occurrence of certain events (i.e., a certain die roll).

Obviously, such contracts do exist in the real world (all enforceable bets are like that, for example).

But does that match what is going on inside the Monopoly game story? I don't think so (you pay rent--you don't pay off your bet, or your futures contract).

Sure, but what we are talking about is what is happening before you stay there at all. In other words, in the Monopoly game story, before you have rolled the dice, it would seem to me that you are not yet planning to stay anywhere in particular. Hence, if you make a transfer, you could not be intending to defraud any creditor within the game story.

Outside the game story, of course, you could be doing this to screw another PLAYER. But again, the law doesn't apply to the game and to players outside the game story ... and within the game story, until the dice are rolled, you are not yet their landlord, and indeed may not be even after the dice are rolled.

But just because you aren't PLANNING to stay anywhere in particular, you know that you're more likely to stay somewhere. You're conscious of the fact that the odds are different. Accordingly, you could take certain actions based on your desire to minimize the chances of a certain thing happening when you land on something you're likely to land on.

But I think you are again slipping between the game story and the game itself. Landing on spaces is outside the game story ... in the game, you stay in hotels and houses, you don't "land on spaces".

To put this point another way, you as a player of the game of course know all sorts of probabilities, and are not staying anywhere ... nor are you really selling property.

The you in the game is apparently someone travelling around Atlantic City staying in different accomodations. Is that you in the game, which is the you that pretend-sells property, supposed to be aware of these game-level probabilities? I doubt that is how the game story is supposed to work.

How is it unconscionable? Unconscionable sales are when one party takes advantage of the other. If you voluntarily want to sell something below market value, or just knowingly give it away, the law won't stop you.

I believe there is sometimes third party right of action for unconscionable sales (of course, not for all contracts, but for certain ones where a 3rd party's interests are at stake). Also, you can't always sell something for below market value -- there are protections against sham transactions, fraudulent conveyances, etc.

No, unconscionability has nothing to do with third parties (it is a consent issue). And third parties generally do not have standing to assert a claim against the enforcement of a contract.

"Sham transactions" is usually a tax term--and you weren't a tax collector.

"Fraudulent conveyances" are conveyances used to defraud creditors ... and my understanding is that you were not yet a creditor.

You own a nuclear power plant. You know that tomorrow the whole thing will blow up because of something stupid that you've done in the past. So you sell off all your assets and cash out, because you know you'd be sued up the ass by the neighbors and lose everything. The neighbors aren't don't become creditors until the thing blows up, yet are de facto creditors and are protected by the asset transfer before the explosion.

It depends on how you interpret Monopoly events. That could be interpreted as a tort-like event, such as a 75% chance of the reactor blowing up ... but that isn't the make-believe story in Monopoly (a tort occurring). Instead, the underlying story is about exchanges: a person staying at a certain property and paying rent. In the real world, people do not randomly stay at certain property.

So, I agree that it might be a fraudulent conveyance if you sold all your goods for a song, knowing that you had a reservation at an incredibly expensive hotel. But how are we supposed to conceptualize this notion of not knowing yet whether you are going to stay at the hotel, and yet also not having that choice yourself?

Right, and the law has no application to Monopoly the game. There are no real sales of legal property, for example ... just pretend sales.

So, your issue only makes sense if we try to apply it within the game story, because outside the game story, there is no issue at all.

Again, I think that is blending the game story and the game itself. "Fair play" is a concept that applies to Monopoly the game. "Fraudulent conveyance" is a concept that applies to specific real world property transfers, not games ... so if it applies directly, it applies inside the game story.

Of course, if you are saying there is a moral lesson to be learned from the property rule ... well, maybe, except Monopoly the game isn't about morality and fair play--heck, it is about monopolization!

an injunctive relief to return to the status quo (and who has a vested right to the status quo anyway?) would necessarily entail a nullification of the transaction which, again, you don't have standing to ask for.

there was no tort here. the tort creditor statutes exist to protect the state or society having to pay for foreseeable injuries and medical harm. here there is no such interest and using that statute to buttress your interpretation of the monopoly rules is silly. even scalia, j., thinks so.

It was also by no means a certainty that the other player would have landed on your property thus causing any right of yours as creditor to vest. actually, wasn't it even more likely that she wouldn't have landed on your property? (with 11 possible dice sum combinations, and only three spaces with hotels, your claim of 'imminence' doesn't wash)

Come on, you know better than that. The probability of landing on my squares isn't 3/11ths. I'm sure you can figure out that some dice rolls are more likely than others. Or do law students not know math these days?

Of course there is no tort. I'm making an analogy to show you how there are de facto creditors in general. I would either be a creditor of a property interest or a contract (depending on how you view the Monopoly game situation of landing on a square and paying rents), and I'm protected by foreseeable attempts to avoid such obligations.

I said 'dice sum possible combinations.' never said 3/11. still, I bet the odds of landing on your spaces was less than 1/2.

I'm saying that the fact that this isn't a tort is a distinction with a difference. not only were you not a 'de facto' creditor, but there is no policy that would be served by granting you any kind of relief here, and thus no reason to interpret the monopoly rules as you would have us.

Also, I still contend that the actual probability should be based on the chances that I will bankrupt her at some point (if the game were replayed perfectly say 10,000 times).

I _am_ a de facto creditor, and obviously the statute protects de facto creditors (the language about unmatured, unvested, etc.) because it recognizes the policy justifications for protecting someone in my situation.

that's such bullshit. the team that scores first in a baseball game will, over 1000 games, more likely than not win the game. but we don't vest the yankees with a world series title (or even a victory in that game) when they score first. even if it was probable (which it probably wasn't), you still need to allow for the significant factor of luck, and the moves and transactions of the other players.

what's the cite to the statute? can you find me a case where a third party could challenge a contract like this one? you've got the burden of proof.

A team that is up by 10 runs in the 9th inning is an imminent winner.

The statute was cited above by sexpert. I don't feel like doing a search on this now, given that the baseball game is on. I'll do it later. People pay top law students like me the big bucks to research such complex issues.

you still haven't answered my point about it being less likely than so that she would have landed on your spaces on the next roll.

anyway, that's a topic for another day. I'm not expecting that you'll vote for Kerry, but you've got to admit that Bush is a disaster. hell, vote for badnarik or nader if you have to, but don't insult your own intelligence by voting Bush.

Bush. Kerry has only killed an unarmed teenager whose back was turned. Bush would have Jesus (Rove/Cheney) do something. Kerry would hold a summit and go to the UN before he does anything.

Yea, W isn't the brightest guy (that NYT hit piece was pretty revealing). My vote doesn't matter, since I'm in CA. Are you voting Lurch or Nader? Who is Badnarik? Is he a libertarian?

the guy had a rocket launcher and was a threat to every one of those GI's lives. the dangerousness of the situation, and the magnitude of Kerry's bravery, is reflected by the fact that he carries shrapnel from the encounter to this day.

(and if we'd listened to what our allies at the UN had been telling us we wouldn't be involved in the boondoggle that is Iraq)

I'm voting Kerry. no question. Badnarik is the libertarian, correct.

For what it is worth, during this discussion I became convinced RWA had a better "claim" under the law than I originally thought. As I understand the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, it is really a question of intent: if you are making a transfer with the sole intent to keep the property away from a creditor, it can be fraudulent even if that is a FUTURE creditor.

My only remaining point above was that within the game story, I am not sure that would fit this situation--the real world players of the game may know that RWA is a likely future creditor, but the fictional monopolist within the game story may not have such knowledge. Still, that is a relatively technical point about games--and I, for one, learned something new about the law.

Interesting (and I see the game story vs. real life distinction). She stated that her intent was to keep the property away from me because I'm a Jew with too much money.

For the purposes of the UFTA, I'm pretty sure the reason why she wants to screw you out of your money is not legally relevant.

Of course, back in the real world/game-playing context, these games are all about forming coalitions and not making enemies.

Yea, if we go back into the game context, your making coalitions would simply be based on the situation on the board. You would have no hatred/love for any one of the other three players.

Players are under no obligation to maximize their chances of winning, particularly not when those would be marginal improvements.

Strategy games like this are all about diplomacy ... which is actually a useful life lesson.

But in the game situation, players do not come in with any pre-existing favoritism to any of the other players. In the game situation (not the real world), ponky would never have made that deal.

No it wasn't. All of the legal experts agree that it was 1) dirty play, and 2) illegal.

This thread was funny stuff, but Monopoly rules determine Monopoly legality. Dirty play? I guess, but I thought it was in jest. Illegal? Maybe a Monopoly judge would rule it as such by stretching the Monopoly loan statute you cited.
