President Trump vowed Thursday to try delaying the 2020 census after the Supreme Court blocked, for now, his administration's plan to include a question that inquires about citizenship status.
The court had said that the administration's explanation for adding the question was insufficient and sent it back to the lower courts for further consideration. The ruling marked a major setback for the administration. While more lower-court litigation is possible, it would be difficult for the government to get the question on the census in time for the forms to be printed by their original self-declared summer deadline.
But Trump raised the possibility of a delay until a final resolution by the courts. In a fiery Twitter response to the narrow ruling, Trump said it "seems totally ridiculous" for the government not to ask such a "basic question."
"I have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the ... United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter," he said.

Our Man Don!!!!
They’d lie about it anyway. “Citizen? Yup”
PS: Or “Si”
More Bush-wacking for US citizens.
Conservatives are wasting time worrying about judges. We are NEVER going to win anything meaningful through the courts. we need judicial reform that holds judges accountable and does away with lifetime appointments. Judges were never meant to run this country.
The census requirement is set by the Constitution. Courts aren’t going to overturn that. It’s got to be done in 2020.
Article 1, Section2, Clause III
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
“TRUMPIE”, the overwhelming numbers of the American people and voters are behind you...100%...period!!!
A South Texas School of Law professor says this is Roberts splitting the SC rulings. One for the libs, one for the conservatives. Said it’s “contrived”. Is there a way to at least take the “Chief Justice” title away from him?
Only impeachment by the House, and conviction and removal by the Senate.
Scotus adjourned. When do they reconvene?
The better question on Census form should be:
Which country you are citizen of!
And give them a list of 10 countries near USA to choose from.
First Monday in October.
then I guess we can just add the populations of El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico to the Census for representation.p
That was modified by the 14th Amendment, but neither one specifies counting only citizens.
"Are you a citizen of the USA?"
There is NOTHING wrong with that questions.
There is PLENTY wrong with Roberts and the rest of the Supreme Court "justices" to whom "2 + 2 = 5"
George Orwell was a profit. His nightmare is a reality in 21st century America.
You would need a constitutional amendment for that.
