| U.S. Census will go as scheduled. Trump and his administration gave up on the fight. |
"We can confirm that the decision has been made to print the 2020 Decennial Census questionnaire without a citizenship question, and that the printer has been instructed to begin the printing process," Kate Bailey, a Justice Department attorney, wrote to lawyers for the plaintiffs challenging the addition of the question.
The Court's 5-4 decision to hold the line on the U.S. Census question was a huge setback for Trump.
The Commerce secretary Wilbur Ross argued that if the question was added it could help the count.
Many civil rights activists and immigration lawyers believed it was a way to keep people of color from doing the census.
The U.S. Census determines how federal funding is appropriated. It also determines what state gains or loses Congressional representation. Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Louisiana will likely lose a seat. Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada will likely earn a new seat.
Gerrymandering keeps political parties in power for generations. The Court denied a request to have partisan gerrymandering voided.
2020 is an election year.
Trump has a five point advantage over the Democratic nominee. The junk food media says that imbecile could be defeated by a handful of candidates. That's not the case. They keep underestimating the power of stupid.
You can't fix stupid.
Trump has a 67% chance of winning reelection. We need to get an understanding of how to play like him when it comes to voting.
Fight dirty.
