When a U.S. citizen marries a noncitizen, the foreign spouse does not automatically obtain the right to live in the United States permanently. Instead, if the spouse does not have permanent status already, the U.S. citizen must submit a petition and accede to the process of proving the marital relationship to USCIS. Should the consular officer's fateful decision to issue a spousal visa be subject to any degree of judicial oversight? In a petition for certiorari before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Solicitor General is urging the court to take up the question and answer it in the negative to the detriment of millions of U.S. citizens.

Russell—deciding that narrowly tailored orders prohibiting a divorce litigant from posting on social media during a divorce are constitutionally permissible if the speech to be restrained is likely to produce a serious danger to children.
