The piece of metal can be transferred but not the award of the prize. 

Sure.  Just like championship rings can be sold without the new owner becoming a champion, nor does the sale of one's Medal of Honor, for instance, make the buyer a recipient of the Medal of Honor.

So she's a righty?

I don't know anything about her myself. Maybe I'll look her up later. I actually only know two Nobel winners, both for the peace prize, and both because them winning pissed off trump :lol:

The Supreme Court has apparently ruled (6-3) that Trump cannot deploy the National Guard to Chicago to support ICE: https://thedailyadda.com/2026/01/10/trump-rages-after-supreme-court-hands-him-6-3-loss/

The recipient proclaims that they are transferring the prize to a third party. The third party publicly accepts the transfer, and it is soon mentioned in official documents like national park tickets. The Nobel people can whine about it, but what can they actually do?
