"...Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday that Hispanics may have a rational fear of their answers to the census being misused by the Trump administration..." Did she specify in what way? Because the question is a pretty straightforward one:
You either ARE a citizen, or you are NOT. It is very black and white, very straightforward.
If you read it, it says: "...the liberal justices saying they feared millions of people Hispanics in particular will toss the forms into the trash rather than fill them out, distorting the entire 2020 count..."
Why? Why would millions of American citizens refuse to fill them out and toss them in the trash? Hmm?
There is someone who is afraid, very afraid of that question on the census, and it isn't a hispanic citizen.
It is the Democrat Party.

Being a Type 1 diabetic is in and of itself not the major issue.
It is that she is apparently a “fragile” Type 1 diabetic, and has had ED visits related to that according to news accounts I had read in the past.
That is not a good indicator.

...Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday that Hispanics may have a rational fear of their answers to the census being misused by the Trump administration, as she argued against including a question about citizenship in the 2020 count....

Will we ever know? Where’s RBG? The left seem to be able to keep people alive longer or some shorter. Look how sick Hillary was. Now she seems to be in excellent health.

Well, it would have the effect of placing the Democratic Party on the horns of a dilemma, wouldn’t it?
If the question is put on the Census, illegals only have two choices:
One horn is to toss it in the trash and decrease the representation.
The other horn is to out themselves.
Of course, any time you are faced with the horns of a dilemma, you usually do have three choices: take one horn, take the other horn, or try to ride it out between the horns.
Obviously, they will opt for the third choice, which is keeping it off the form, or something else, haven’t thought it through yet.

Roberts I think.You are correct on Roberts writing the liberal opinion for a 5-4 opinion that will remove this question from the census. He's still being blackmailed over his adopted children.

Not a chance.
Roberts will be writing to allow the question. There is no constitutional basis for not allowing the question.
The only question is how big a majority will he have? 7,8 or 9.

Originally, the only reason why a census was required every 10 years by the US Constitution is to apportion members of the House of Representatives among the States, according to their (citizen) populations To the best of my knowledge, there have been no court rulings holding that non-citizens are to be included in the calculation to determine House representation. Therefore, there is a valid constitutional foundation for segregating non-citizen census responses from those of citizens. And in order to do that, the census must ask the citizenship question.
Please correct me on this if I am in error.

If they are illegal, they should be in fear.
