The Supreme Court of the United States on Friday in a 6-3 ruling dropped a lawsuit seeking to stop the Trump administration’s plan to ensure illegal immigrants are not counted in the 2020 census.
The ruling was made along ideological lines, with the 6 conservative justices ruling in favor and the 3 liberal justices dissenting.
BREAKING: Supreme Court punts in census case and declines to issue definitive ruling on Trump’s plan to exclude unauthorized immigrants from the population count used to re-apportion U.S. House seats.https://t.co/IFOMW7doHT — SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) December 18, 2020
One of President Donald Trump’s biggest concerns would be that having noncitizens in the census would be used to reapportion congressional seats.
Those arguing against Trump see it as simply a move for political gains.
I like Sara Carter but the headline is very misleading. The ruling or lack thereof is very good news.
READ CAREFULLY!!! dropped a lawsuit seeking to STOP the Trump administration’s plan ...
This is a win.
Good.
Illegal anything should not have representation.
“the 6 conservative justices ruling in favor”
Breyer? Didn’t know he had it in him.
Thanks. I was about to blow a gasket and go read the article.
At least they got this one right!
Good news, but not a consolation prize for that Texas decision.
I disagree. This kangaroo court is just trying to save face. Who gives a crap about the census at this point? This joke of a court led by that fraud John Roberts is ok with a flat out commie takeover so now they want to appear legitimate. They can take their ruling a cram it, they are still traitors.
So we have 3 of 9 judges that think its OK for a mexican or other illegal person in the USA should have all the rights of a natural born American citizen.....how is hell can this be?? Can these judges or you vote in Mexico or Germany or other country.....Damn...what the F is wrong with these people.
Without reading the decision, sounds like a win to me.
Roberts must’ve misread everything...he voted to block the challenge...He’ll sure hear about that from his bosses....
I hear you and agree but this is a win for Trump and for redistricting.
It’s just one battle in a long war.
In words that make sense:
“Trump admin plan to exclude illegal immigrants from census upheld by Supreme Court”.
You got it! :)
There is the potential for a reduction of several congressional districts in California, New Jersey, California and Washington.
Yes, great news but extremely misleading. I was already playing the game of “who besides Thomas and Alito didn’t sell us out this time”.
Hope all of this can’t be undone by Fraud 46.
So it is NOT OK to count illegals and IS OK to count only citizens of the US? Wow, what a concept.
It’s amazing, isn’t it? Apportioning representatives based on counting people who are in the country illegally.
It’s hard to imagine how they would argue this, but I suppose they would say “we need resources to support and process these people”, but that’s just a charitable way of describing equal representation. But, we’re supposed to believe that the left is above 🗳️ stuffing. They can go F themselves.
Good points. What is the point of anything anymore anyway?
