Because nobody sued Obama when he did it.
“If Obama removed the question without the SC, why does Trump need the SC to have it put back on?”
In 1932, America elected a king.
In 2008, America elected a god.
“Shame on SCOTUS for ruling against it.”
Heard some alleged right-wingers on Big Radio yesterday discussing Roberts’ “mistakes”.
Chief “Justice” Roberts makes no mistakes in supporting his masters’ war against America.
“”If Obama removed the question without the SC, why does Trump need the SC to have it put back on?””
Because the left challenged it or a better way to say it is the left does not play fair

The left fights for every inch. Witness the state prosector in the Epstein case putting all the blame on Acosta. The “right” currently represented by GOP fueled donor class does not engage the left in such a manner.
Nicely done, Mr. President.
Make for a simple argument in front of the Supreme Court. Heck, you wouldn’t have to even pay me.
The last time it was a regular census question was 1950, so you could say Ike took it out in 1960.
The fact is the question has been and is still being asked elsewhere.
From 1960 through 2000 the question was asked on the census long form which went to 1 in 6 households.
Starting in 1995 the Census Bureau began testing an ongoing survey ( the ACS) which goes which is conducted monthly and goes to 3M households each year. In 2005 the ACS was officially adopted and the old long form dropped. The ACS does ask about citizenship.
In short, the citizenship question has moved around but is still being asked.
Agreed. 14(2) requires citizenship numbers. This is especially relevant in light of the drive to take a states electoral votes and give them to the winner of the popular vote.
This is the ‘dreamers’ redo and a soon to be citizen question redo. Doesn’t matter if Obama just created an executive order. A judge will rule against Trump. We have another easy out: a judge overrules Trump.
Blessed be the leeway to make EOs.
This is earlier news. The news now is he is backing away.
We’ll see what happens = Now, let him enforce it?
The cycle time between announcement and cancelation is getting shorter!
So Democrats just don’t want us to know how many illegals there are?
It’s purely political.. Democrats are worried about redistricting.. https://thefederalist.com/2018/02/01/democrats-really-dont-want-reinstate-citizenship-question-u-s-census/
Well damn, then Trump should not let this go.
