Yesterday, the Supreme Court blocked Trump’s citizenship question on the census – but Donald’s not giving up.
In a narrow 5-4 decision, the Court said the reason for adding the question was “insufficient.” Sure… Well, at least it only means it is going back to the lower courts for Trump to give a better explanation.
But there’s one big problem: time. This is going to take a while, but 2020 is right around the corner.
Trump isn’t happy about this, so he’s bringing in his lawyers to make sure he get what he’s demanding.
From Fox News:
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…”
Democrats didn’t see that tactic coming. Can’t get it done in time for the 2020 Census? Then maybe we don’t have a 2020 Census until it can be done right.
And here’s a really promising piece from the Supreme Court’s ruling:
The majority concluded that the executive branch can decide what goes into the census. So it’s certainly within Trump’s power, now he just has to get it done quickly.
And some who believe that if Trump wants to exercise his full presidential power, he can absolutely get that citizenship question approved.
But Trump is a smart man, and doesn’t want to push the limits of his power and open himself up to attack from the Left.
But no matter what happens, he’s going to need his lawyers to come through here.
Because I don’t think the census should count border jumpers the same as everyone else – do you?
SHARE if you think the census should ask if you’re a legal citizen!
