Simple question in court, who has authority to set questions? Is the question of citizenship illegal when asked, when it was done in most previous census and is the core consideration in the constitution? Hopefully even the 9th circuit would throw out this lawsuit!
Nothing is simple and straightforward when it comes to Liberal jurists RESISTING Trump. There will almost surely be an injunction at the outset.
Don’t hold your breath!
citizenship seems more relevant than Race.
One year I got the American Community Survey. I answered very few questions ( which generated in-person visits from somebody with a cli-board)
The instructions for inputing Race include a sample. It said something to the effect that, using one letter per box, please input Race as such - RACE, so that’s what I did. I wrote in RACE.
The citizen question was on the census forms for 130 years, and as far as I know, no one has ever filed a lawsuit to have it removed. It was done arbitrarily.
