Don’t believe everything you read on FoxNews.

The question stays if the department can provide a reason for it being there.

the headline misleads.

the question _stays_ for now but they have to give reasoning for putting the question on ... reasoning besides what was given.

will be easy

That shouldn’t be too hard. Sounds like the “it wasn’t properly approved” argument went out the window.

Yes. I saw this article at Reuters:

U.S. Supreme Court blocks Trump’s census citizenship question, for now

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-census/supreme-court-to-issue-major-census-electoral-map-decisions-idUSKCN1TS1BL

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.

What if the department takes their sweet time in providing the “reason” for the question being there?

What if they provide a reason and then some liberal judge declares it inadequate?

We’re running up against the clock here, folks.

Ine question: why can’t Trump admin add the citizenship question to the form, and then let the Demonrats have to challenge it in the courts?

No, the case was remanded to the district court which had blocked the question.

Commerce now has an opportunity to come up with a justification for the question that passes muster but time is running out.

"we cannot ignore the disconnect between the decision made and the explanation given.... If judicial review is to be more than an empty ritual, it must demand something better than the explanation offered for the action taken in this case. In these unusual circumstances, the District Court was warranted in remanding to the agency, and we affirm that disposition."
