Lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice say the government still hopes to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, but they have not made a decision about how to move forward.

Lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice said the government still hopes to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, but they have not made a decision about how to move forward.

On Tuesday, the Commerce Department announced that it had begun printing copies of the census without the question. "Despite DOJ’s repeated statements that the census questionnaire cannot be changed after June 30, the administration is now examining whether it can concoct a ‘new rationale’ for its citizenship question," the American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement on Wednesday."The answer is no, it cannot — at least not a legal one. Any attempt at an end run around the Supreme Court’s decision will be unsuccessful, and will be met swiftly in court.

Judge Hazel demanded the government present its plan by Friday afternoon, forcing lawyers to work through the July 4 holiday to come up with a new rationale that they hoped could pass muster with the Supreme Court. The lawyers assured Judge Hazel that printing of the census without the citizenship question included would continue.

They can’t.

The court has ruled the citizenship question can't be on the census. What will happen if Trump demands the citizenship question be on it anyway? SaturdayMorning SaturdayThoughts SaturdayMotivation

Whatever it takes President Trump...whatever it takes. 'ARE YOU A CITIZEN' is a fair question especially on the 2020 census or any United states census.

The baby will order that they place the question on the doc then many won’t check the box then they’ll gerrymander the districts all ignoring the supremes. Wait supremes said it’s beyond their purview so he pulls it off. 🤔🤷‍♂️

We had a citizenship question on the census until 2000, when Obama took it off. Time to put it back on.
