Amen and amen.

Roberts is not incompetent. He’s corrupt.

I’m so PO’d...If the question’s not on there I hope tens of millions of citizens refuse to comply. I will be one of them.

OK so say for the sake of argument the Democrats launch a nationwide campaign calling for people to answer every question on the census form but leave the citizenship question unanswered. What does that do to the count? Does the entire form get thrown out for lack of that answer? Or does it go through and the individuals get counted?

Or, if you feel you must fill it out, fill it out, shred it, and send in the shreds.

Fedzilla can embrace the suck.

The court DIDN’T block anything. The case was remanded. The media doesn’t know what it is talking about.

The agency is wrong that July 1 is a deadline. The court noted that. It can present its rationale to the lower court, the lower court has to review the rationale in light of the holding in Commerce, and the agency can print the forms. It might be January 1, but it can do it, if the Secretary of Commerce says to the agency, we are going forward with this, the question will be on the form.

This is a convoluted rationale. It doesn’t divide the baby. It strangles the baby.

What the heck did Roberts just say?

Simple question: Does it make sense to have a citizenship question on a census questionaire? Answer: Of course it does.

If a non-citizen answers truthfully that they are a non-citizen, then they need not fear filling out a census form. There are some legitimate reasons for a non-citizen to be temporarily living in the USA: education and business, primarily.

If they aren’t in the US legally, and they’re afraid to fill out a census, then then they win the prize!

Yep. Just craft a plausible explanation - which they can easily do - and the citizenship question is on the Census.

This is a win for the good guys.

They would have their representation further diluted by people who are profiting from their crimes.

That’s right, the Court did not block the question. It just stated that the agency has to be transparent about why the question is on the form.

My question is if the District Court says that the justification is not well-grounded, will the Supreme Court step in and adjudicate the issue in time for the census?

Yes. Notice that Fox already changed their reporting on this, 3 minutes ago:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-blocks-citizenship-question-in-2020-census-for-now

They added the “for now.”

If you read the OPINION, the “for now” is very temporary.

The Supreme Court is a real pile of shi!. Not only are they unable to make decisions they are so liberal, all of them, they allow the lower courts to make decisions for them. What a real pile of horse shi!

The court already rejected the crap that NY was peddling in the challenge, so the lower court has to accept the justification under the lens in the opinion.

Unlike rape, ‘lawyer talk’ is really quite sexy when it agrees with my position.

I guess the question, how many people live in your Household should be replaced with how many Burglars, Trespassers and Squatters live in your Household.

And who decides what constitutes good...

Bill Clinton Bill Clinton is working on that definition of "good."
