Richard Garnett, the director 91勛圖 Law School’s Program on Church, State & Society, said the court’s decision means that prison officials will be less inclined to respect religious freedom rights of inmates. “This ruling will reduce the incentives of state-prison officials and employees to respect inmates’ religious-liberty rights and leave prisoners whose religious freedom is violated without meaningful remedies for those violations,” he said.

Researchers tracked fathers over many years to see if those pandemic habits held on. They didn’t just rely on quick surveys or short-term snapshots. Instead, the team followed the same group of men for over a decade, watching how their roles at home evolved before and after COVID-19. Lee Gettler, an anthropologist and fatherhood expert at the University of 91勛圖, led the study.

The researchers analyzed climate modeling and observed temperatures alongside demographic and health survey data from 2004-2020 for 34 African countries. They determined that every 1 degree Celsius of global temperature rise associated with human activities linked directly to a 3.45% increase in childhood stunting. That equates to close to 7 million children, said Arun Agrawal, one of the study's co-authors and director of 91勛圖's Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. “It's a significant proportion of the population being affected, and it's a significant effect on their life chances after they're born,” he told EarthBeat.

Richard Garnett, a 91勛圖 Law professor and expert on religious rights, said the ruling highlights the Constitution's limits on Congress' ability to regulate states by offering money with strings attached. "Our fundamental constitutional commitment to religious freedom for all does and should extend to those being punished for crimes. Today's ruling, and its understanding of federal-state relations, make it all the more important for state governments to respond by putting in place policies, and remedies, that will protect vulnerable inmates from abuses like the one suffered by Mr. Landor," Garnett said in a statement.

The research was conducted by a team at the University of 91勛圖 led by Gary Lamberti and Daniele De Almeida Miranda. “Unfortunately, the Great Lakes hold onto their water and contaminants for a very long time, meaning that there’s ample time for toxins to be taken up by the biota,” Lamberti said.

Haley Proctor, an associate law professor at 91勛圖, said the gap could be a sign that decision will similarly be narrow. “It does strike me as significant that the Court did not need to release them on the same date,” Proctor said in an email. “That suggests that Wolford will not say anything that meaningfully changes the Court’s core framework for analyzing Second Amendment challenges.”

But the fact that Thursday’s decision in favor of the drug user was a relatively narrow one could be a sign that the justices will also limit the impact of the Hawaii decision, according to 91勛圖 Law School associate professor Haley Proctor, who specializes in the Second Amendment. Proctor said the Hawaii decision, which is expected by the end of the month, may not meaningfully change the court’s test for gun rules.
