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.

The meaning of the noun word "visa" in the 21st century

 
     The dictionary online site merriam-webster shows the version of the noun word "visa" :  "…a signature of formal approval by a superior upon a document…" was used just as commonly as it is now most applicable in the 21st century as a means of entry into a particular country, but this now fraught with political implications noun word "visa" has become a political discourse, too, in the year 2025, that has widened into a POV involving a political party, the immigration purpose of this noun word "visa" with the first definition now used exclusively, even to the sentence merriam-webster offers with the use of this noun word has the mention of the Trump administration: "First, the State Department is canceling visas due to an exercise of free speech that administration officials find objectionable…" a political statement, that is unusual for a well-known always apolitical dictionary of words and meanings, not political opinions.
     However, Cambridge.org dispenses with political opinion in offering sample sentences, instead concentrates on the noun word "visa" with a 21st century meaning, using examples of the noun word "visa" in various countries to qualify for permission to enter,  and this noun word defines a system of immigration into various countries around the world, too.
   As well, the Google search was remarkably POV free and politically benign: "…an endorsement on a passport indicating that the holder is allowed to enter, leave, or stay for a specified period of time in a country…" this word definition came from Oxford dictionary,  And I have included another dictionary site, vocabulary.com that examples the 21st century meaning of the word, but without any political POV and with more of an international global definition as would be used to reference other countries around the world.
   My research proves that the 21st century meaning of the word "visa" has overtaken the definition to the extent that even a usually reliable and apolitical website like Merriam-webster has become entangled in something other than definitions of words, which saddens me, but then this why I pursue blogging about words plus meanings, to enlighten and often dumbfound about the use of words in ways that defines this contentious 21st century.

The meaning of the word "nullification" in the 21st century

     Google's generic definition of the noun word "nullification" notes this: " Nullification is the act of canceling something.  Counteracting the effects of a snakebite with an antidote could be describe as nullification, for example.  Use the noun nullification when one thing overcomes or overrides another, basically erasing the effects of the first thing."
     However, I have included Wikipedia's article about "nullification" of the U. S. Constitution, as another reference due to the importance of this noun word "nullification" insofar as the specific direction of the "Executive" branch of our government to determine the direction of our Republic, and whether any Federal judge can override the direction of the 47th POTUS of the United States to determine by Executive Order what he determines is in the best interest of the nation.
     Currently the Executive and Judicial branches of our Republic are engaged in a literal "butting of heads" to direct the direction of our Republic.
     There is also a "Nullification in Politics" taking place, and Google's generic advisement says this:  "In politics, nullification is when a state asserts its rights to judge federal laws unconstitutional and block their implementation" when the occupant of the Executive branch of our Republic is determining the direction of the country by issuing Executive Orders, but the opposition, is fighting implementation of the Executive Orders with the Judicial branches of government, to include state courts.
     From my research, it is clear an appeal to SCOTUS is the eventual direction for determination whether the US Constitution gives the power to determine the direction of our Republic to the Executive branch, either with parameters, or without parameters.  And it is most likely, the nation's AG Pam Bondi will be the one to shepherd the best case to solve this extraordinary issue of the Judicial branch versus the Executive branch.
     There is no doubt that in 2025, familiarity with the words plus meanings of words that will effect persons of all stripes and political persuasions, is important when it comes to understanding the power of which branch of government of our Republic is allowed to set the direction the nation.  My previous research has determined the SCOTUS decision will include the basis for a legal "precedent," another important 21st century word researched in the January wordsplusmeanings.blogspot.com blog.  In researching this most important noun word "nullification" the 2 dictionary sources have the same definition, so I decided not to pursue more definitions, which essentially repeat those I have included.
