From what I’ve pieced together from a couple different articles, Kavanaugh decided that Trump’s executive order violated federal law but not the Constitution.

So it was 6-3 to strike down the order but 5-4 that citizenship is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Kavanaugh thinks that Congress could change that without needing a constitutional amendment.

“Thong” originally just meant a thin strap. So sandals with a thin strap between your toes are thong sandals. Swimsuits/underwear with a thin strap between your cheeks are thong swimsuits/underwear.

There are examples of “literally” being used figuratively as far back as 1769.
