To my great surprise the Injustices at SCROTUS (Republican Anti-Constitutional VD) ruled that the Republican Reich cannot put their citizenship question on the 2020 census, because they lied that it was to enable the Voting Rights Act, when their memo said it was to gain a Republican electoral advantage by suppressing the Latino vote. The Fuhrer is ignoring it. Will he disobey?
President Donald Trump on Thursday called for delaying the once-in-a-decade US census after the Supreme Court blocked his bid to add a question on citizenship — a measure critics say would result in undercounting immigrants.
Chief Justice John Roberts tipped the balance in a 5-4 vote by siding with the court’s liberal minority, boosting those trying to stop the Trump administration from adding the question to the 2020 census.
The decision said that the government’s arguments were “contrived.” However, the court potentially left the door open for a new appeal — and Trump said he’d try.
Not having the citizenship question is “totally ridiculous,” argued Trump, who is in Japan for the G20 summit…

Trump now says he will delay the census until SCROTUS can revisit the decision. Legal experts say he can’t.
Trump’s reasons were bogus, and I suspect that he will disobey the Court and include the question. But what if he doesn’t obey? Either way 2020 will change the electoral landscape for decades.
As important as it is to rid the federal government of Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten, Vice Fuhrer Pukenpence and the rest of the Republican Reich, we need to invest at least as much effort into flushing Republicans from state government.
RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Of course, he’ll try to delay and hope this goes in his favor. Being the ignoramus that he is, he’ll ignore it too.
They said NO and they mean NO. What part of that doesn’t he understand??He needs to grow up and stop crying like a baby just because he didn’t get his way.
“Contrived.” See? He was specifically talking about Thomas Hofeller, whose daughter heroically revealed the evidence. Roberts basically said, “Do a better job of covering up next time.” Dirty he may be, but he can be shamed, by the right combination of factors which would besmirch the Court. W must remember this and run with it.
We all knew this was going to happen when two ultra-conservatives, i.e. Trumpians, joined SCOTUS. The census seems to be safe for now, but given the second negative ruling, on bipartisan gerrymandering, who is going to stop Trump and the Republicans from just ignoring it? Only Democrats can do that if they win the presidential election AND vote every Republican out of office, but with an OK from SCOTUS on gerrymandering, that is not a given yet.
VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!
Thanks, bleary eyed hugs, and AMEN to all!
