Opinion
The Supreme Court vs. the President
The Supreme Court has abandoned judicial restraint to challenge the president’s authority and discretion.
"This
is a case that should have been tossed out of Federal District Court in
the first instance. Instead, its stakes are now heightened enormously.
If the justices approach their task as judges and not as politicians,
the administration will easily prevail. It is the Roberts court that now
needs to take care."

Universities have given in to the implicit notion that they should be a haven. But are they hindering their students’ development?Universities attempt to provide their students with a knowledge of the intellectual world. Its extent and its limitations.
