The noun words "reapportionment" and "Census" defined for the purpose of Congressional representation and "shadow SCOTUS docket"

 
 In addition to defining the noun words "reapportionment" and "Census" with links to dictionary sites, I found research that gives a thorough informational about the process of "reapportionment" which is not only specific to the United States method, but to other nations, as well.
The correct understanding of these noun words, "reapportionment" and "Census" will help to comprehend why this issue is so misunderstood, and can influence daily life in the USA.
Who represents each state can be a contentious issue, the more seats a political party has in Congress determines who is in control of the majority political party making the laws, which can be the one in opposition to the current administration.
The duly elected President of the USA needs congress to make the laws that will give that administration an edge in accomplishing what the voters elected the POTUS to do, if the reapportionment of Congress is favoring the opposition to the current administration, of course, all sorts of issues can develop, mostly with the current administration, another round of attempts at impeachment, and stalemating any and all attempts of the current administration to accomplish the goals that the voters who put the POTUS in office for 4 years to accomplish what is expected with laws that help that agenda.
 For the noun word "Census" I used a dictionary site, and also a more scholarly site, which explains the legalities that some say are 'ambiguities' in the language of exactly who is a legal citizen of the USA included in the Census count for reapportionment.
 Both political parties Republicans and Democrats have a stake in determining a reapportionment in time for the 2026 midterm elections, and each may use all the Constitutional methods available, including "SCOTUS shadow docket" which my research link to Wikipedia.com has defined, however, my research confirms that who will prevail remains uncertain until SCOTUS takes the case, which will come from the side that activates "Shadow docket".
Legal experts will continue to weigh in as to what happens when via "Shadow docket"  SCOTUS issues a decision as to whether it will take the case, thus temporarily postponing any 2025 action on the issue, perhaps even giving a victory to the side that wants to postpone until after the 2026 elections.

In the 21st century has the word "violence" been redefined?

     The redefinition of the noun word "violence" has been noted in the www.merriam-webster link as "fervor" which isn't surprising, as this well-known website has inserted itself into the left of center political spectrum, and which can be used by those who say they are protesting against other individuals of a certain religion who are blamed for what is happening in the Mideast, yet those people of a certain religion are in a place where they should be allowed free access, like a school.
    I did include another link to a website that didn't have the word "fervor" as one of the definitions, nor did it have it in a sentence, the Wikipedia.org site gives a thorough explanation about the noun word "violence" together with explanations about the origins of that word with its usage.
     Insofar as the why of my choice for this month's wordsplusmeanings blogspot post, I've been struck at how violence in all its forms is a big part of our 21st century era, as it was during the early 20th century, considering that even the courts took part, for instance, the Sacco and Vanzetti miscarriage of justice, done to placate a public that demanded the use of the courts to inflict punishment, even when what happened was a result of a protest by a group who had political opinions opposite to the politics of the Wilson administration and the majority of Americans. And I have included the Wikipedia.com thorough explanation of what happened to these 2 men, who were immigrants with a foreign political philosophy antithetical to the majority of Americans, some might say, the trial and effect is like the current administration's zeal to deport the people here unlawfully, but, the rap sheets of those detained and the killing of American citizens by them belies that accusation.
     As for those who are opposed to those ICE arrests,  don’t' use "violence" against ICE, use your vote to change the existing law that codify deportation of anyone who is has come and stayed here illegally, even the nice gardener who does your lawn, and your housekeeper, too.

Two major 21st century words "power" and "court"

     My research links do present the many aspects of the noun word "power."
     The English pronunciation of the word itself has the implication of strength, and in the 21st century, the Wikipedia.org website covers this century's preoccupation with the social and political aspects of this word, however, the social meaning of the "power" does involve friendships and the involvement of two persons, whether a partnership, or of a more intimate nature, but when it comes to controlling the outcome, "power" is being in charge.
     As for the word noun word "court" the many aspects of this word has an international connotation, too.  Cited as a verb, too, the noun word "court" is explained as such in the cambridge.org website, however, the definition of these two as noun words, "power" and "court" became the primary concern of the opposing political party, the Democrats, when the voters elected Donald J. Trump, 47th POTUS of the USA.
     Running on the GOP ticket and according the promises made to the voters, the 47th POTUS has pushed the boundaries of the Executive branch of our Federal Republic to accomplish deportation of all criminals and any illegals who are a threat to our nation, birthright citizenship, and numerous Executive Orders, that mandate without a law enacted by Congress.  All of which brings questions to Federal courts that have been for the most part selectively answered, depending on the Judge's political persuasion.
     Therefore, aspects about the definition of these most important words "power" and "court" in this 21st century affect our Federal Republic.
     As it turns out my research proves the direction of our nation will determine where the "power" is,  either the Executive branch of government, or SCOTUS,  and fully defining these noun words "power" and "court" will be meaningful as measures of whether the voters got what they voted for.

Is the meaning of the words "Habeaus Corpus" now a partisan POV

 
     Rather than just define the words "Habeas Corpus" I attached what has become a POV reference to those words, and my research confirms how the partisan nature of it inputs as to what the courts can do to impact then way "Habeas Corpus" is applied. 
     Law School scholarly articles I found each discuss the theory of how a partisan application can result in a Judge's POV judicial decision, offering certain case law examples that were impacted, which are interesting determinations of case law and Habeas Corpus, and indicate how partisan Judges can be.
     The Wikipedia article discusses the history of "Habeas Corpus" and court decisions that were impactful to the consideration of legal cases brought before the courts.
     The merriam-webster online dictionary defines the words Habeas Corpus without bias, but offers an example of the words in a sentence that refers to the Vermont state judge freeing of a Green card holder who was about to be deported for participation and planning of protests the Executive  branch has determined are not in the best interests of our nation (as noted below re the May 15 SCOTUS) and is as has been discussed in the April blogspot post, a departure from the usual apolitical nature of online dictionary websites.
     However, now in 2025, the partisan nature of "Habeas Corpus" will again be redetermined on May 15, when SCOTUS is scheduled to meet and determine whether the lower courts or even state courts can override the prerogative of the Executive branch of our Republic, and in fact issue nation-wide judicial injunctions to insure that "Habeas Corpus" is fully granted to the holders of Green cards, even to preventing deportation, despite the determination of the Executive branch that the individual is fermenting against the Executive branches' foreign policy, as well as causing domestic violence contrary to the laws that protect others' civil rights.
