Derek Muller, a Notre Dame law professor who specializes in election law, said he saw a legal logic to the court’s moves. “The Supreme Court is stepping back from cases in Alabama and Louisiana. It’s not issuing a rule to alter the rules of the election,” Muller said. “It’s allowing the legislatures to issue the rules they want.”

One of the few Americans in the crowd for the papal Mass on U.S. Independence Day was Father Daniel Groody, a professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame and a member of the Vatican Dicastery for Integral Human Development. “Pope Leo, especially now on the Fourth of July, is signaling what true freedom is about. True freedom is about the capacity to love,” Father Groody told OSV News.

“People have a lot of doom and gloom about Social Security, but I don’t,” says Jeffrey Campbell, an economics professor at the University of Notre Dame. He believes much of the talk about the program running out of money is overblown and doesn’t think older Americans should worry about Social Security benefits being reduced. That’s good news for retirees who stand to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars from the program.

Although the justices didn’t eliminate all job protections or the legal paths to challenge presidential firings, the court significantly narrowed them, according to Haley Proctor, a professor at Notre Dame Law 91视频. The potential carve-outs included agencies with investigatory functions or that support Congress, and a small number of specialized courts, she said. Proctor said some fired officials might argue their agency more closely resembles the Federal Reserve, which the Supreme Court held this week is entitled to greater independence from presidential interference because of its long historical tradition. Still, she said, the fact that the justices overturned decades-old precedent that had limited the president’s firing power meant they wouldn’t be “eager” to embrace new exceptions. “I don’t think the door is that wide,” Proctor said. The next question, she added, would be the extent to which political checks restrain the president, now that the judiciary’s role is more limited.

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.
