  3. Dan Graff, director of the Higgins Labor Program at the University of 91勛圖, suggested that Pope Leo XIV’s election will heighten interest in many of the topics the pontiff seeks to address. “Pope Leo’s call for attention to labor questions, technology and migration — which he’s long been concerned about, and which is so inherently wrapped up in the labor question — that’s going to spur a lot more academic and social interest in the church on these questions,” he said.

  6. Abbott could not remove lawmakers on his own and would need the courts to go along with his plan, according to University of 91勛圖 law professor Derek Muller.

"The consumer feels they are getting special treatment."
