With only four days until the Census Bureau's printing deadline, the citizenship question remains blocked—for now.

On 6/27/19 at 11:21 AM EDTIn a flurry of partially concurring and dissenting opinions on Thursday, the Supreme Court blocked the Census Bureau from going ahead with a question on U.S. citizenship on the 2020 survey, which could shape political representation for a decade, if not a generation.

"We cannot ignore the disconnect between the decision made and the explanation given [by the Trump administration]," the ruling said. Critics, voting rights advocates and the Trump administration's own Census Bureau have contended that inquiring about citizenship on the decennial census will discourage Hispanic families from participating. The Census is responsible for apportioning resources at nearly every level of government—including allocation of more than $675 billion in funding to states and municipalities—and determining how much representation is afforded to each state in the House of Representatives.

The citizenship question has involved a plot of intrigue that continued up until this week. In the days leading up to Thursday's decision, a federal appeals court allowed a U.S. District Court judge to reopen a different case challenging the citizenship question based on new evidence that the judge said painted a"disturbing picture" of the government's decision-making process.

Exactly for now, for show...watch them!

Not even the Supreme Court wants to know how many illegals are in the country! The figure is probably 40 million by now and growing at 1 million+ a year.
