    Haley Proctor, a constitutional law professor at Notre Dame Law 91视频, similarly described Gorsuch's opinion as a roadmap for future legal challenges. "I do think what Justice Gorsuch is pointing out is that this is the first step toward rethinking the way in which the administrative state is empowered and structured," Proctor said. Rather than simply expanding presidential authority, Proctor said the concurrence raises the possibility that Congress may ultimately have to reclaim powers it has delegated to agencies or assign certain responsibilities back to Article III courts. "If we're concerned about the amount of power that the Federal Trade Commission has, then the next step would be to reconsider giving that power to the Federal Trade Commission because some of the decisions that it's making could be made by Congress instead and some of the decisions that it's making could be made by the courts," she said.

  8. The Haitians and Syrians now have difficult decisions to make, according to Ashley Sanchez, director of the Immigration Law Clinic at Notre Dame Law 91视频. They can either stay in the country and risk detention and deportation or return to a country that the State Department warns against visiting. Some may seek another path, such as applying for asylum. But the factors that led Haiti to initially be included in the TPS program – such as natural disasters, widespread gang violence, and lack of health care − do not easily translate to a viable claim for asylum, Sanchez said.

  9. Ashley Sanchez, director of the Immigration Clinic at the University of Notre Dame's law school, said that while immigration laws have not substantially changed, Trump's administration is choosing to apply them in a way to limit both legal and illegal immigration as much as possible. The court has had its current ideological makeup since October 2020, when Trump appointed conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The existence of this conservative supermajority has been pivotal in immigration rulings, Sanchez said. "This more conservative group appears much more willing to side with the president," Sanchez added. Sanchez 鈥媝ointed to the court's June 2020 decision, during Trump's first term as 鈥媝resident, to block his bid to end a program that protects 鈦爁rom deportation hundreds of thousands of migrants — often called "Dreamers" — who entered the United States illegally as children. The court had a 5-4 conservative majority at the time, but conservative Chief Justice John Roberts joined with the court's liberal members in the decision. "It's hard to imagine this current court coming to that same decision," Sanchez said.

    Richard Garnett, the director Notre Dame Law 91视频’s Program on Church, State & Society, said the court’s decision means that prison officials will be less inclined to respect religious freedom rights of inmates. “This ruling will reduce the incentives of state-prison officials and employees to respect inmates’ religious-liberty rights and leave prisoners whose religious freedom is violated without meaningful remedies for those violations,” he said.

  14. The researchers analyzed climate modeling and observed temperatures alongside demographic and health survey data from 2004-2020 for 34 African countries. They determined that every 1 degree Celsius of global temperature rise associated with human activities linked directly to a 3.45% increase in childhood stunting. That equates to close to 7 million children, said Arun Agrawal, one of the study's co-authors and director of Notre Dame's Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. “It's a significant proportion of the population being affected, and it's a significant effect on their life chances after they're born,” he told EarthBeat.

  15. Richard Garnett, a Notre Dame Law professor and expert on religious rights, said the ruling highlights the Constitution's limits on Congress' ability to regulate states by offering money with strings attached. "Our fundamental constitutional commitment to religious freedom for all does and should extend to those being punished for crimes. Today's ruling, and its understanding of federal-state relations, make it all the more important for state governments to respond by putting in place policies, and remedies, that will protect vulnerable inmates from abuses like the one suffered by Mr. Landor," Garnett said in a statement.

They didn’t just rely on quick surveys or short-term snapshots. Instead, the team followed the same group of men for over a decade, watching how their roles at home evolved before and after COVID-19. Lee Gettler, an anthropologist and fatherhood expert at the University of Notre Dame, led the study.
