I’m sure the Democrats will fight tooth and nail to keep the citizenship question off the census so that is a question that will go back to the courts no matter what reason the administration gives.
CSPAN reports SCOTUS votes 5-4 against ADDING citizenship question to census.
Hopefully, Roberts hasn’t completely screwed up again and that Wilbur Ross will be able to weigh in to satisfy whatever has to be done to allow this critical data in due time.
So now there will be a case on the explanation.
I see this ending up back before SCOTUS rather quickly... the District Court will find that anything Census says is entirely pretextual, and SCOTUS will have to address this one more time.
Roberts really made this way more complicated than it needed to be by trying to straddle the fence here.
“Judge Napolitano is a quack. Don’t believe ANYTHING he claims.”
I wish Fox would get rid of this clown, and send Shep with him.
Have you seen who's running the new company? Don't hold your breath while you wait.
Huh?
Fox reports the SC decision on the Census issue was unanimous.
The TV news is reporting that they sent the case back, effectively keeping the question from the census. I suppose it would be a win in time but whether the lower courts will rule in a timely manner for this upcoming census is debatable.
“The media doesn’t know what it is talking about. The court said: “The question can be there, so long as the agency explains why it is including it.”
THIS IS SO DISGUSTING. Census is for OUR AMERICAN Citizens, no one else. It’s not rocket science. The slimey left wants anyone in the world to be counted.
The SCOTUS seems to be “passing back to lower courts” most everything these days.
We are either a nation of laws or not. Given the even more slimey Dems in last night’s chaotic non-debate gathering, it’s free everything, come on in, world at large, we’ll pay for your every need. Welcome mat is out. And those evil rich people / corporations will pay.
KEEP THE FAITH folks. But keep up the good fight.
two things
Conservatives in Blue States should not fill out their census let our anger be heard.
Two, since this is about getting a handle on who is here legally, lets deport illegals so they don’t have to be counted and can’t vote or get on welfare.
Yep. Wish Fox would send Shep and Judge Nap on an all expenses paid vacation to the Dominican Republic.
Reading through the replies, I am of the view that for now the question can stay on the form.
WTF!! Fox says it’s no good for the 2020 census. Roberts is coming into his own as another Earl ‘\Warren.
2010 census forms have to be printed soon.
SC is done for this session, i.e: NO question re citizenship on the 2010 form.
Big loss for U.S.!
Then the states in which they lived, would be (potentially) allocated fewer House of Rep seats.
For example, if most of the roughly 4.75 million (R) registered voters in CA [1] did not participate in the Census, CA probably would loose a seat or two. Unless, of course, a near equal number of illegal aliens were counted.
If the citizenship question does not make it to the 2020 Census due to timing, then this might very well have to be a movement in the blue states that (R)'s need to undertake.
It is NOT NOW on the Census form!
I thought another article said they ruled against it, because they did not give adequate justification.
U.S. Supreme Court blocks Trump’s census citizenship question, for now
The U.S. Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a significant defeat on Thursday, ruling that his administration did not give an adequate explanation for its plan to include a contentious citizenship question on the 2020 census and preventing its addition to the decennial survey for now.
OOPS. Make that 2020 Census form.
