The Supreme Court Tuesday will hear oral arguments in the Trump administration’s appeal of lower-court orders forbidding it to ask a citizenship question in the 2020 census. The justices’ task in Department of Commerce v.

New York won’t be difficult: The law and facts overwhelmingly support the administration. But the case is a proxy for future battles over redistricting and reapportionment, vital components of American democracy that determine the balance of political power within and among states.

That is neither opinion nor fact. It delusional

Extract your 👃 from Trump’s ass and catch your breath.

Should citizens be represented in congress or just companies?

Sure- why not give the Republicans yet another avenue to gerrymandering to illegitimately hold onto power. Just makes so much sense. NOT!

Absolutely F__in not. Become a citizen, assimilate and than enjoy all the rights of an American including representation. You need to be an American to be accepted as an American.

Richard Raile: The lawyer who tried to convince the courts that the district on the left 👇 was drawn to be “compact” and didn’t have anything to do with gerrymandering, especially gerrymandering that could reasonably be associated with race.

No!

What does the Constitution say about the census? BirdcageLiner

How do people know whether they are a citizen or not?

Democrats want illegal aliens to count towards congressional representation the same way the states of the antebellum South wanted slaves to count.

The fact that anyone is even arguing the question can’t be included is ludicrous.

..More Murdoch propaganda!!

“...all men (with properly filled-out paperwork) are created equal...”

If a sanctuary state has 2 million illegals in it, and another state with a similar population has none... ...then why should the sanctuary state get more Congressmen? It's only common sense. The census should be able to determine the number of US citizens.

It can and it will.

The fact that this is an issue shows how lawless the DNC has become. Eight years of Obama’s DNC has destroyed the DNC as a rational political party.

Absolutely!

Disagree.

No Way

The attack on the Constitution is criminal.

RT : Opinion: The law and facts overwhelmingly support the Trump administration’s ...

A country shouldn’t know how many citizens it has? Critics of the Trump Administration here are as dumb as rocks and merely being spiteful.

The fact this is even a question is so absurd

The Constitution does NOT set a citizenship test for Census. This is more Trump White Nationalism. IS WALL STREET JOURNAL PROMOTING WHITE NATIONALISM

Incorrect

Democrats mad because it's worth money to their state

Citizens aren’t represented now....why do you support treason?

Haven’t you read? The law doesn’t matter anymore

Of course it should. Illegal 'immigrants' should not be included and have no right to be in the country as lawbreakers.

This article is lucky to not be on paper. I would either burn it or wipe my but with it. Depending on if it’s cold or I need to 💩.

No way they don’t get a say in our government

That would include the entire global population then, wouldn't it?

They should be able to include that question

In high-stakes census case, Supreme Court will dissect Trump’s effort to catalogue noncitizensThe administration’s plan to include a citizenship question on the 2020 form has brought intense scrutiny on Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. will they start micro chipping them as well, maybe barcodes? The Justice Department insisted they needed the question to help enforce the voting rights act, so the first question should be 'what mechanism of enforcement requires that enumeration'? How could less information possibly be better. This is what a census is for.

President Trump and his businesses ask a court to block Congress from obtaining accounting recordsThe lawsuit is the latest salvo in a series of investigation that are continuing into President Trump and his businesses in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. IF NOTHING TO HIDE WHY BLOCK? Hope Trump’s deposition notice goes out today. When you file a lawsuit you subject yourself to the rules of discovery. Clearly the actions of an innocent man. Duh!
