10 Ways to Think About the Supreme Court's Ruling on Nationwide
Injunctions - Intelligencer (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=205640&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=205640&nl=daily]
The U.S. Supreme Court's monumental ruling on the Trump v. CASA
birthright-citizenship case handed President Trump a victory, but the
6-3 decision wasn't really about whether Trump could deny citizenship
to the children of migrants but about federal judge's ability to
temporarily stop him on their own. What the Court's conservative
supermajority did was curb the power of federal judges to order
nationwide injunctions against potentially illegal executive-branch
actions, which is what the Trump administration's lawyers wanted. In
the aftermath, legal experts, pundits, and analysts have begun
weighing in with their own thoughts, criticism, and fears. Below is
some of what they've had to say.

nonjudgmental, so I feel like I can tell her anything. She is
welcoming and responsive to my feedback, and just as direct about
providing her own. And perhaps best of all, I don't have to book in

Reams of papers have been published on the cognitive advantages of
multilingualism. Beyond the conversational doors it can open,
multilingualism is supposed to improve executive function, a loose
concept that includes the ability to ignore distractions, plan complex
tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives. Most striking,
numerous studies have even shown that bilinguals undergo a later onset
of dementia, perhaps of around four years, on average. But some of
these studies have failed to replicate, leaving experts wondering
whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it consists of.
