Supreme Court refuses to approve citizenship question on 2020 census

Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross speaks at the National Press Club in Washington on May 14, 2018.

The Supreme Court, delivering a political blow to the Trump administration, on Thursday refused to uphold an effort to ask all households about the citizenship of their residents as part of the 2020 census. They sent the matter back to a lower court for review.

*for now. (An important addition to your headline)

barefootboomer It must have been the liberal 9th circuit Supreme Court. 😂

Borrow off the NAZI thinking about birthrights

BarbaraNavarro So good to hear

ImpeachJusticeRoberts

Wonderful!

More 'winning' I presume? WHOMP WHOMP

Did they reject it or pass it off to lower courts?

Um.... they literally said that they saw no problem with the question, but the reasoning for adding it wasn’t sufficient enough. Hence, if they come up with a better reason, they’ll allow it.

hipEchik Gotta love all those Justices Trump put on the court. Democrats put activist justices on the court we put Democrats on the court.

The headline should read SCOTUS allows gerrymandering to continue. Stop enabling progress!

Conservatives in liberal states like California should not respond to the census. Your count will only add to liberal Congressional representation. Your representation derives from conservative states like Texas.

So when does the naked mole rat lose his job for not lying well enough, realDonaldTrump? 🤡ETTD

You know that's not entirely correct.

But, isn’t a census to gather information for demographics.

😂😂😂

Expecting angry, misspelled tweets towards Roberts any second now.

Supreme Court rules on conservative effort to weaken federal agenciesThank goodness. Conservatives are trying to make government -- OUR SELF GOVERNANCE -- obsolete. Glad to see the Court put a stop to this particular tactic. Peepster3 They are actually giving them the continuation of the administrative state as their enemy, as opposed to making Congress & the courts be the bad guy to conservatives. Don't buy the hype. Congress should be making regs, not the agencies.
