President Trump was furious on Thursday after the Supreme Court ruled to block his administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Chief Justice Roberts sided with liberals on Thursday — shocker! The President is now seeking to delay the 2020 census.“Seems totally ridiculous that our government, and indeed Country, cannot ask a basic question of Citizenship in a very expensive, detailed and important Census

I didn't think he would take this sitting down. I hoe he fights like heck! Since Roberts said it would NOT be Unconstitutional to put that question on the form, why this even have to be decided by the Court. I would think the Attorney General could just make sure it's legal, then do it! Why do we always let the screamers muddle things up? Just do it!

We never give them any info other than how many people, and a touch more, mostly will not answer 95% of the form. The send out a follow up last time, tossed it.

Wasn't there an issue regarding the original citizenship of a couple of Roberts' children? If so, shouldn't he have recused himself from involvement with the citizenship matter on the census?

Roberts appears to be one of those liberal justices he said we didn’t have....

Sometimes, scotus decisions are based on a shifty penumbra. This decision, however tentative, stinks. Since when to we base sc judgements on intent, and not law?

Tell me justices, what us the point of a census, when you can even ask the first logical question?
Guess you folks are not so smart after all.

14th Amendment requires a count of citizens. Case closed.

So the date for the census is set by the Secretary of Commerce. He is empowered within the executive branch and under the principle of the Unitary Executive President Trump is the single elected official who can direct members of the executive branch within the limits of his constitutional powers. The printing could be delayed as late at October and still be able to meet the 2020 deadline although they would need to fund a lot of overtime to get it done and mailed on time. As long as it is done before the end of 2020 it should meet the statutory 10 year interval. The June 30 deadline can and should be delayed until this limitation on the power of the Secretary of Commerce to ask whatever questions they deem necessary is settled. The language of the question is clear so the only dispute is the motive for asking it. Unless the courts have acquired superpowers to read minds I don't see how they can impute an intent that isn't in the language of the question.

We have no right to know how many illegals and non-citizens are
clogging our cities and illegally voting in their own representatives.
Not our business, especially us whites. Goes double for white males.

This is not the first time a federal agency has come to an impasse on the design or redesign of a standard form. In fact, the normal fallback option is to simply continue using an older version until there's a resolution of the conflicts.
My pick is the 1940 Census Long Form which asks what the citizenship of every person listed is.. not just if you are a US citizen, but if you are from somewhere else you have to tell your citizenship.
There's not a thing wrong with using that form. It was acceptable at the time it was first used and the SCOTUS says the question is constitutional. The dispute is over whether or not the Commerce Department justified the newer design with an acceptable reason.
Frankly, knowing how fast massive printing and mailing jobs can be handled, I'd Schiff-kan the whole redesign project and to the ever-ready and quite reasonable fallback of REUSING an older form. It's just a reprint. And if you need 2020 on it, do a surcharge ~ order it in the screen.
The forms, as they are returned, can be captured with advanced modern digital cameras, and then READ electronically.
There are a number of printing/binding/mailing firms that can do the print jobs within 2 days of when Census needs them.

I like the delayed census idea. The democrats can't murk up the election with it. Citizenship question or not I don't see the illegals even filling out the form since they didn't mind breaking the law by sneaking in over the border. Many of them will view the form as a means of tracking them.
