1. weigh

   An individual considers, meditates, ponders, reflects, by himself; he weighs a matter in his own mind, and is sometimes said even to debate with himself. Consult and confer always imply two or more persons, as does debate, unless expressly limited as above. Confer suggests the interchange of counsel, advice, or information; consult indicates almost exclusively the receiving of it. A man confers with his associates about a new investment; he consults his physician about his health; he may confer with him on matters of general interest. He consults a dictionary, but does not confer with it. Deliberate, which can be applied to a single individual, is also the word for a great number, while consult is ordinarily limited to a few; a committee consults; an assembly deliberates. Deliberating always carries the idea of slowness; consulting is compatible with haste; we can speak of a hasty consultation, not of a hasty deliberation. Debate implies opposing views; deliberate, simply a gathering and balancing of all facts and reasons. We consider or deliberate with a view to action, while meditation may be quite purposeless.

   Synonyms:
   confer, consider, consult, debate, deliberate, meditate, ponder, reflect

   Preposition:
   We deliberate on or upon, also about or concerning a matter: the first two are preferable.

How to use weigh in a sentence?

1. Mark Meadows:

   The executive privilege that Donald Trump has claimed is his to waive— it's not mine to waive, is not Congress' to waive, and that's why we filed a lawsuit to hopefully get the courts to weigh in. Hopefully, they'll weigh in.

2. Andrew Phelps:

   They've really chosen to pull out some of the tools that we ordinarily would have as emergency protective measures in our toolbox, it's a really uncomfortable position for states to be in to have to weigh' Gosh, you know, with our budgets, where do we spend the finite amount of state dollars that we have ?'.

3. Christian Menefee:

   One domino fell and then everybody just decided school is about to come in session, the Delta variant is spreading like wildfire, hospitalizations are up, ICU capacity is down... it's time for the courts to weigh in on this issue.

4. Mike Sarafin:

   We hope that here's something that is fairly straightforward and needs to be adjusted or is easily resolved, and we can do that at the pad and do it in fairly short order, and then there are a couple of more invasive options, and we've got to weigh those against a whole host of considerations that include putting additional stress on the vehicle.

5. Kate Andersen Brower:

   The first lady is the best surrogate you can get, especially when they can connect, like Jill Biden can, to bread and butter issues like education and child care, usually, first ladies have much higher approval ratings, so they can appeal to a broader audience than their husbands. They tend to be less polarizing because they usually do not weigh in on hot-button political issues.
