In determining the amount of process due, the court should weigh three factors:

The nation is so divided that the court, as a matter of civic obligation, should weigh in.

The courts have been weighing in on such issues for years.

The courts can weigh the factors in individual cases, and may consider additional factors as they please.

Asylum-seekers are forbidden to work, and may linger as wards from three to five years while courts weigh their cases.

But in a civil case, the court will weigh all the evidence and decide what is most probable.

However, the court may weigh the socio-economic factors of crack usage in sentencing.

Even when the court weighs in on the side of Congress, it often elevates its own powers at Congress's expense.

A court cannot weigh the claims except in terms of "its own values" -and that is impermissible.

Instead, a federal court must still weigh what the Court described as the four factors traditionally used to determine if an injunction should issue.
