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.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

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?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

She does like to align herself with the Trump/Milei types. Whether that's out of necessity I don't know.

I can hope to look forward to a future/sane President ordering a seizure of all the emoluments given to Trump and his clowns while they were in office.

The case of January 6th suggests that such a thing may not happen at all.

The art of the deal strikes again:

Trump tells Cuba to 'make a deal, before it is too late'

Quote"Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided 'Security Services' for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE!" Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday.

"THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Yeah, I fully expect Congress to pick the next President.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
