Nobody in here but us chickens, and we’re all legal!.............
No, they wouldn’t, especially if non-compliance was limited to blue states.
Fewer warm bodies means less power in the chamber with the power of the purse.
I’m from NYS. We’re very familiar with this.
“but on the other hand it says that it shares “the District Court’s conviction that the decision to reinstate a citizenship question cannot be adequately explained in terms of DOJ’s request for improved citizenship data to better enforce the” Voting Rights Act. “In these unusual circumstances,” the court says, “the District Court was warranted in remanding to the agency, and we affirm that disposition.””
What? The DOJ wanted to be able to compare the number of votes with the number of voters. How is that unusual?
This is so tortured.

I guarantee you nobody asked Upstate.
Albany is desperate because, after having lost almost half our House seats over the last 60 years or so, we’re fixing to lose 1 to 2 more after the next census.
If illegals don’t count, Albany is screwed.
Obama salted the ground, but GWB burned it first.
Thanks, that’s good do know.
Bodies = power.
Fewer bodies, less power.
Especially if non-compliance is restricted to blue states.
Ultimately SCOTUS, but they already decided the framework that the lower courts are forced to use.
Days Before Expected SCOTUS Ruling, Appellate Judges Send 2020 Census Lawsuit Back to Lower Court
The SCOTUS usually want all evidence and arguments to go through the lower courts first.
