A federal judge in New York on Tuesday barred the Trump administration from adding a question about citizenship to the 2020 census.

Judges rule on law, not procedure. The judge is out of his scope of authority.

We just had an editorial written by a “senior Trump official” which explains that most people in the government add no value — they just follow arcane procedures which were written by government people who didn’t want to do actual work.

“Procedure?” Did Trump not say “mother may I?”

This should be fought all the way through the court system.

We need to ask this question on the census. There are at least 5-10 million illegals in CA alone who get federal representation who shouldn’t. They don’t belong here.

why don’t judges do what everyone knows they want to really do, and just get it over with and bar him from being president? They haven’;t allowed him to do anything- I don’t remember federal judges stopping obama to this extent?

FROM THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU

"Why We Ask Questions About...

Place of Birth, Citizenship, Year of Entry

We ask questions about a person’s place of birth, citizenship, and year of entry into the United States to create data about citizens, noncitizens, and the foreign-born population.

Agencies and policymakers use our published statistics to set and evaluate immigration policies and laws, understand the experience of different immigrant groups, and enforce laws, policies, and regulations against discrimination based on national origin. These statistics also help tailor services to accommodate cultural differences."

One of the reasons why this citizenship question must absolutely be placed on the census.
