Good. Barr Should not tell the Associated Press anything about his legal strategy on this matter.

This Bill Barr really does suck at being a Deep Stater that some freepers swore up and down that is exactly how he would be. And they still think he is a Deep State rat.

"Hawaiian Judge doesn’t wear a Hawaiian robe and shirt? What a stiff"

And the one he has on looks like it's too big for him.

Hawaii judge does not have nationwide jurisdiction.

Won’t someone in the admin please point this concrete fact out sometime?

If the census doesn’t care whether I’m a citizen, then why should I care to answer? Waste of my time.

...That move has fueled speculation that career DOJ lawyers refused to provide another rationale behind the citizenship question after repeatedly citing the Voting Rights Act in court or that officials feared they would no longer be viewed as trustworthy by judges presiding over the cases...

Or how about the fact that the original team were deep state swamp rats who deliberately failed their assigned task.

They are being replaced by hopefully loyal lawyers who know how the read the road map that Roberts gave the administration.

Why is this article not being discussed ANYWHERE?!

The Trump administration’s only rationale should have been that it intended to restore on the 2020 Census what had been standard practice for 200 years.

SCOTUS flubbed this one plain as day.

A reputation-sullying decision, a “Supreme Court” that isn’t familiar enough with the Constitution to have noticed the 14th requires knowledge of citizenship.

Trump’s got this. He doesn’t need advice from Deroy Murdoch, well intended though it might be.

If the Democrats and Liberals are vehemently against it, you can be SURE that the reason is because they know it will effect their balance of power in Congress! Why don’t they ask the American voters if we want it put back in?

Roberts could have said that reason was NFG either.

It’s easy to play quarter back on a Monday after the game was played.
