In a blow to the Trump administration, a federal trial judge said he believes new evidence presented in a challenge to the 2020 census citizenship question 'raises a substantial issue'

In a blow to the Trump administration, a federal trial judge said Wednesday that he believes new evidence presented in a challenge to the 2020 census citizenship question"raises a substantial issue."

The decision could lead to reopening one of three federal trials into the citizenship question and lead to further examinations of Republican redistricting consultant Thomas Hofeller's role in developing the question. Earlier this month, the ACLU and a team of lawyers at Arnold & Porter said that they had obtained a trove of documents from Hofeller, a deceased Republican redistricting expert who, they allege, played a significant role in the decision to add the question.

I'm try to understand how so many people can tell Congress to get fucked in so many word. I haven't seen any justice , and now I feel the law is only for the poor white, but mostly for black.

It appears a sufficient answer to any question is 'I don't recall' so what's good for the goose is good for the gander! Are you a United States citizen: 'I don't recall'

Yawn.

Why should an American census asking if you’re an American citizen be an issue?

Except we have had it for 60 years

I just don't understand how is it controversial to ask a citizenship question

Right. A factual comment in 2015 from a guy whos been dead now for years has a ton of weight on a decission in 2019 about the 2020 census. At least the corrupt judges are easy to spot these days

One person one vote

The question is not for citizenship, it's for racial distinction. How do you figure something racial when everyone in the World is mixed connected through the past. Except that stupid Donald is brain less..

The left: “WE CANNOT ALLOW FOREIGN INFLUENCE ON OUR ELECTIONS!!!!” Also the left: “Non-US citizens should be counted in our census without distinguishing them from citizens with voting rights”

This is the United States of America and we deserve to know who is in our country legally and illegally. Plus ONLY Americans should be able to vote in our elections. Democrats always cry about foreign influence but they sure as heck want those votes from illegals.

Actually, the Supreme Court will decide that. Thanks for playing though !

Democrats be like: “please let us include illegal immigrants in redistricting efforts; we want unfair maps.”

This is a basic question and has to be on the census. There is no reason not to have it on there unless of course you want to cheat

Oh, BS! This shouldn't even be debatable! This is nothing but more obstruction by the masters of corruption!!

Trump gov is racist thats nothing new if he could he would deport all non-white

Not a blow. Just another reason for a Democrat to switch to Republican.

How can it be a blow to Trump admin when nothing has been done or actually decided?

In a 'blow' huh? LOL Something tells me this will be a non issue in 5,4,3,2,1....... CNN...making up crap 24/7

That’s a blow to the American people
