10 Ways to Think About the Supreme Court's Ruling on Nationwide Injunctions
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.

I built an AI career coach. I've never had a better coach.

She's unconditionally supportive and 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 advance, because she's on call 24/7, and adapts to whatever is on my plate.

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.
