BREAKING: The US Supreme Court will hear Trump appeal to exclude illegal immigrants from Census count - CNBC
Excuse my ignorance, but isn’t it a little late for this go-around?
They’ve already been counted
Do we count tourists at Disney World or college students in the Boston area?
Transients aren’t “citizens” of a region.
Seems liike a slam dunk. Fingers crossed.
Does it say when? I’m in Twitter jail so I can’t see the tweet. Will ACB hear it?
“They’ve already been counted”
And now we’ll find out if they’ll be excluded.
This will justify the citizenship question on the census

The justices put the case on a fast track, setting arguments for Nov. 30. A decision is expected by the end of the year or early in January, when Trump has to report census numbers to the House.
Trump’s high court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, could take part in the case if, as seems likely, she is confirmed by then.
Last year, the court by a 5-4 vote barred Trump from adding a census question asking people about their citizenship. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died last month, was part of that slim majority. Barrett would take Ginsburg’s seat.
the argument is if illegals can be counted for representation allotment.
The fact that they are illegal is enough in my book.
If they are not citizens, they should not be counted.
How exactly would it be determined who would be excluded? There’s no question on the census regarding birth location, SSN or citizenship.
there are currently only 8 justices.
Roberts will vote in favor of illegals. That makes four.
Four conservatives will likely vote in favor of eliminating illegals from the census rolls—or not counting them for apportionment.
Will they wait to vote until amy barrett ascends to the supreme court.
He’s going to remove them based on other metrics and data.
As I understand it, the question is whether illegal immigrants should be included in the apportionment of representatives. Two states, one with 1 million residents, all citizens, versus another state, 2 million residents, 1 million being citizens. Should they get the same number of representatives? Or should the second state get twice as many reps as state 1?
In the past, as I understand it, the apportionment was based on aggregated legal and illegal residents, Trump wants apportionment based on count of legal residents only. The effect would be for California to lose a number of reps.
“Barrett would take Ginsburg’s seat.”
Very misleading. Please don’t call it that. There was no “seat for Ginsburg.” Don’t help the Media/Libs, but then, I repeat myself...
Yep Cali gonna lose a lot of Reps that they stole by fraud in 18. HaHa
If the US can’t remove illegal aliens from a census used for Constitutional apportionment, then we don’t deserve to survive as a country. Just go ahead and split up, and start Civil War II.
Kamala Harris was moaning to ACB about a part of the Voting Rights Act declared unconstitutional. ACB said something about reworking the formula.
But that’s a little problematic if you don’t know who’s a citizen and who isn’t.
