In American law, courts exercise their awesome powers through injunctions. Courts have used injunctions to implement decisions addressing many of the most divisive social issues of the day: from integrating public schools to even arguably affecting presidential elections. </i>E.g., Bush v. Gore,</i> 531 U.S. 98 (2000) (enjoining Florida ballot recount); <i>Brown v. Board of Education,</i> 349 U.S. 294 (1955) (directing district courts to supervise "transition to a system of public education freed of racial discrimination"). <i>See New York Times Co. v. United States,</i> 403 U.S. 713 (1971) (refusing to grant injunction to prevent publication of "Pentagon Papers").
