The Supreme Court on Thursday dealt an unexpected blow to the administration's attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, prompting a threat by President Donald Trump to try to delay the count.

While the census is mandated by the Constitution, federal law calls for the count to be taken “as of the first day of April” next year. Traditionally some surveying begins before that date and efforts to track down those who don’t return the forms continue for months afterwards.
"I don't see how this administration can walk away and suddenly start, sort of tabula rasa, with a whole new set of rationales,” she said. A working paper released Monday by U.S. Census Bureau researchers found the addition of the citizenship question likely will reduce responses of non-citizen households by 8 percent, a higher rate than the bureau‘s earlier estimate of 5.8 percent. The lower participation would depress the overall response rate and lead to increased costs and lower-quality data, the report found.
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard joined other Democrats in praising the decision, but added that the Democrat-controlled House would “fight any further efforts to sabotage a fair and accurate 2020 Census.”the addition of the citizenship question, freezing the Commerce Department’s plan to add it to the upcoming census. In the case, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman dismissed the administration’s rationale as a pretext and found it engaged in “egregious” violations of federal regulatory law.
Is it adding the question to the census? Or is it restoring the question to the census because it was removed by POTUS O? Believe the question was there from 1840 on until O. Speaking of the deporter in chief, how many immigrants died on or near the border in his years? Shocking!
The Supreme Court's not ruling against, a prohibition, means allowance for the equal Executive branch of Govt to include the question on the census
Lying group & caught by supreme court.
America has truly become “a corrupt nation.” The damage this administration has done to our moral standing & more importantly to the way we view ourselves may be irreparable.
Trump doesn't give a damn about counting citizens. He wants to weaponize the census. States with large populations that didn't vote for him will suffer federal funding losses.
Roberts=JERKOFF
Roberts is using small cases to deflect from the big changes that they want to make. The court is illegitimate!
