Asking about citizenship in this fraught political climate is a manifestly bad idea. (via latimesopinion)

The Trump administration gave up on adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census after the Supreme Court called out Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' lies. to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census is a victory not only for a more accurate census but for the rule of law.

The administration had insisted that it needed to ask everyone across the country next year whether they were U.S. citizens to help it enforce the Voting Rights Act, a laughably thin excuse for an administration that cares naught for voting rights. The truth emerged early on. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the request had come from Justice Department officials.Share quote & link
