Thanks for the translations from legalese!
But why is time an issue?
Yes and no.
In rulings that favor the Government, the Court holds: (1) the Enumeration clause permits a citizenship question; (2) the Secretary’s decision is reviewable under the APA; (3) adding the citizenship question was supported by substantial evidence; (4) adding the question did not violate the two provisions of the Census Act New York has cited.
BUT
The agency has to explain WHY it did it under the APA.
In a nutshell, the Court is saying that the Commerce Department could do this if it gave a better explanation of why it was doing it. That’s the bottom line.
What about "Are you a US citizen" as a good reason???
Roberts has proven to be one of the most incompetent "justices" in Supreme Court history.
Are he and Jeff Sessions joined at the hip or something?
Administrative agency decisions take time. There is a public comment period. If they have been planing for a result like this, it won’t be an issue.
........... I heard the opposite .... that the Citizenship Question .... WILL NOT be on the 2020 Census .....
It can be on the ballot if Trump decides to leave it. Ballots will be printed with the question starting 1 July. The court decided nothing.
Roberts is not incompetent.
He’s corrupt.
So, what does that mean for the 2020 census?
Given they don’t like the explanation, are they letting it stay or saying no?
I am seeing both sides claiming victory here.
Also the dems sent in new evidence to the SCOTUS, which they don’t normally consider. The dems plot worked.
"Let's kill all the lawyers" is a line from William Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2. The full quote is "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".
Thanks!
Well, if the question ain’t on there, I’m refusing to respond.
NYS can KMA.
Like I said, idiot reporters can’t read the opinion, can’t understand the law, and desperately want to spin this as a victory for the Rats.
However, the actual opinion guts the challenges that NY made to the law.
The court DID send this back to the agency to explain why it did it.
All the agency has to do is explain why it did this, present it to the lower courts. The lower courts have to review it with the standards that the court put in place, and it guts the challengers position.
Basically, Agencies aren’t allowed to pull the same sort of intellectual dishonesty the courts use on a routine basis. “Stay in your own lane.”
The court didn’t address that at all.
Census forms are reportedly going to start being printed on July 1. That doesn’t seem enough time for the agency to get their act together. I don’t the question will be on the 2020 census.
I guess the second one doesn’t really favor the Government
I meant to say I don’t think the question will be on the 2020 census.
