In a major reversal, the Justice Department told a federal judge in Maryland on Wednesday that it has been"instructed to examine whether there is a path forward consistent with the Supreme Court's decision, that would allow us to include the citizenship question on the census."
The shift comes after President Donald Trump tweeted earlier on Wednesday that"we are absolutely moving forward, as we must" on the citizenship question, despite statements Tuesday from both his Department of Justice and his secretary of commerce that the administration was printing the census without the question.Jody Hunt, the assistant attorney general for the Civil Division, told the judge that if they find a viable path, they plan to go to the Supreme Court for"instructions .
USA casa dolce casa !!! Love you !!❤️
Help il tempo stringe è non migliora !!!” O mio Dio !!!
Sick & tired of this country being run by Trump tweets lies bullshit conspiracies smears & GOP hypocrites that support all his incompetence corruption racism nepotism Russian collusion & criminality! Spineless Nancy & many Dems too afraid to do their job VOTE THEM ALL OUT
illegal noun Definition of illegal : a person who enters or lives in a country without the documentation required for legal entry or residence
Trump stupidly believes that everyone living in the US is a citizen or illegally here. There are legal ways to live in the US...And not be a citizen. What an idiot!
LetItGo Mr.President. WeAreToLiveInHarmony .
*No surprise* that there are liberal DOJ attorneys that don't want to do their job. They have been trying to sabotage America for decades. 'Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., left open the possibility for Trump admin to provide a suitable answer.'
People favoring the citizenship question realize how high the stakes are. It will determine the course of the nation for decades, politically and otherwise. They are not ready to give up. This is a determined lot, willing to go to any lengths, even if it means breaking the law.
Let's find out the number of actual citizens in our country. What a concept? CNN is constantly causing divisions between races, sexes, geography etc. Wouldn't it be nice if they loved our country as much as president Trump?
What is the downside to asking people if they're citizens of this country or not? It's seems to just be Dems saying 'Trump wants it so we don't'. Watch the Democrats not only lose the 2020 Presidential election but also the House and more Senate seats.
So let me get this straight....Russians interfering in elections = bad. Illegal immigrants influencing elections = good.
Our democracy requires to know who lives where bc they determine how many representatives each state receives? If they are not citizens then they dont count!!!
Okay good every person counts
And they lied to the Supreme Court
Rapist
It's not a reversal if the big boss never approved it to begin with.
CNN is so phony!
I’m not a citizen Now come arrest me and put me in a concentration camp!
respond son if I go to 95 procent pissed off yah finished
Its a common sense thing.
Constitution Constitution Constitution
FREE SPEECH IS DEAD - SAYS DEMOCRAT
The only shot you losers have at winning is illegal foreign voters. Russia Collusion?😂
Good
Good
Trump’s a joke.
Someone mentioned that the question used to be in, Obama took it out. Is this true or fakenews
Flip Flop Fake News trying to cover their sorry asses LMFO
You’re kidding, goooooolllllyyyy , That’s hard to believe that Sergeant
But the Supreme Court said NO !!!
Raul is supported & financed, through the back door, by Mexican cartels; he knows he gets elected because a significant number of illegals & non-citizens in his district vote. Mexican cartels love him because he keeps the doors(border) open, which is good for Cartels business
Constitution and Supreme Court said NO! Is the justice department and Republican Party really ready to ignore the constitution? If you ignore Constitution why should anyone uphold 2A?
You mean......POTUS lied?!?!?!? Nooo couldn’t be!
Racism and power hungry at its finest.
frontpage_live The court overruled you again Trump. Get over it. You are not dividing us by asking if we are citizens.
As they should.
Typical opinion reporting on citizenship census question read the ruling idiots Independent for Trump 2020!
It should ask citizenship, how will you get an accurate count.
realDonaldTrump do not do the census without the citizens question just delay it.
...it’s a fair question
To bypass the ruling, they will just ask without using the word 'citizen': Do you have legal status to stay in the United States?
Trump is attempting to make himself a Dictator!He is attempting to Destroy the USDA!By July 15 the Nation will not have a Department of Food,Drug & Air Vanguard!Why is Ditch Mitch allowing this Stupidity?We know Trump is a Russian Asset!Is Mitch McConnell a Russian Asset as well?
GOP, the party of law and order. 😂😂😂😂😂 😠
What’s embarrassing is knowing that America hating dems are slowly taking control of this country. We used to be the strongest country in the world, now with the rise of the terroristic dems, we are losing our country. No other terror group hates the US like the dems do.
'Get his way?' It's America's way, dummy. Why shouldn't we be aware of who is living in our country?
Folks go online and look up China, NKorea, Russia (USSR, Soviet Union, etc). Educate yourself about the individuals and what they've done to their citizens, past and present.
It’s Not Nice to Lie to the Supreme Court The decision in the census case suggests President Trump can no longer take the court for granted.
What in the Sam hell is actually going on here?!? This admin is worse about making decisions and getting it right than my dog is about wanting to stay in or go out when it’s raining outside. Both just tick me off!
Or he picks his battles and that one wasn't worth. Embarrassed? LOL that's why you're15th in ratings.
Going to count tourists too? Why wouldn’t anyone want to know how many citizens are in a country?
Lincoln, was the only President to ever deport free blacks out of the US, telling them, on 8-14-1862: “There is an unwillingness on the part of our people (Northern whites) for you free colored people to remain with us. It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated.”
The DOJ lawyers are allowing themselves to look pathetic & stupid, just to please tRump.... These DOJ people has no integrity.. They are weak.. They can be bought... They all should 'go down the drain' with tRump, when this president is votedOut..
realDonaldTrump no no and no
What, TRUMP flip-flopping?!!!! SAY it ain’t so!!! 😂
Sorry sport
Everyone answer yes to the citizenship question
Trump Derangement Syndrome!!!
what is the left so afraid we will find out?
You people have a really low bar for tantrums.
It would seem America no longer has a TheJusticeDept. Just a realDonaldTrump defense team. Very sad. Must be hard for those remaining employees that still believe in the rule of law and democracy.
He won’t even accept a no from the Supreme Court.
Just Drop it...
Looking for lawmakers like SpeakerPelosi LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr SenBlumenthal AdamSchiff to have a problem with this. Hello? American voting needs a rehaul.
It will be on the census...take that to the bank...
Disgrace to the office.
Q1. Total occupants at this address? Q2. Are any occupants Native Americans? If yes, how many? ... The only valid questions under the Constitution (Article I Section 2). Everything else REQUIRES an AMENDMENT. (Native Americans are not counted under the Constitutional census)
Hmmmk
Why is that such a dirty question?
Stop giving these asinine people a platform to spread hateful propaganda. A ten year old child can tell everything they do is out of hate and ignorance. They are NOT true Americans. Their only god is money.
Everyone knows this administration is clueless!
Of course it's a reversal. No one has a freakin clue what these people are doing. Like a chameleon on plaid.
The census is about collecting demographic data. The citizenship question is appropriate.
I love that trump said statement from DOJ is FAKE. His own government is FAKE and he just admitted it. Hope you are enjoying the circus.
Of course...the big Weasel Barr is in charge there!
If Congress allows him to get away with defying the Supreme Court then democracy as we have known it for the last 243 years will truly cease to exist. No further need for any more elections, courts, or Congress. Trump would effectively be a defacto dictator.
Great day to be RUSSIAN America!
Stack the court and you still don’t like the outcome, throw a tantrum, hopefully in front of a tank
The dems want false numbers which will destroy future infrastructure ,security and food supplies to America. The question must be asked
Keep asking, dimwits. The Court has already spoken. Y'all are like my four-year-old daughter begging for a pet monkey.
Don’t you mean Trumps racist department!
We should know how many non-citizens reside in the country
Good, not that any illegal will be honest anyway.
Doesn’t matter to fatso’s mouthpiece that the Supreme Court said no. Dictator Donny wants it, so they’ll do it anyway
The outcome of whether Trump is able to add the citizenship question on the census is a defining moment of our countries’s balance of power.
The Emperor is not happy he has no new clothes🙄
How does he surmise he can overrule the Supreme Court?
Why bother with annoyances like the constitution and Supreme Court when you have tRump in the White House
THIS IS WHY HE MUST BE IMPEACHED NOW!!! Total disregard for the rule of law. Can't wait until 2021 when the Democrat president does everything by executive order and I'll be fine with it. Executive Order 1: McConnell removed from office!! Let's go there!!
They never said they stopped. You said that when the court made that ruling. Fake news.
realDonaldTrump is constantly showing how insecure and weak he is for a adult. The United states government has never bowed down to tyrants like Kim Jong un or Iran.
Umm lol he cant
