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.

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.
