Tomorrow is a huge day. SCOTUS will meet on the Census question

quote:
The Supreme Court meets behind closed doors Friday to weigh a question that could shape the political power of California for the decade ahead.
At issue is the Trump administration’s plan to ask all households for the first time since 1950 whether occupants are U.S. citizens.
Officials in California, New York and 17 other Democratic-leaning states say neither justification makes sense. They argue that adding the citizenship question is likely to yield incomplete and inaccurate data because millions of immigrant families will refuse to respond, leading to a severe undercount in areas like Southern California and South Texas. And they said Justice Department lawyers have enforced the Voting Rights Act for more than 50 years without needing block-by-block data on eligible voters. Instead, they have relied on data from the American Community Survey, which annually asks detailed questions, including on race, ethnicity and citizenship, of a small statistical sample of the public.
On Friday, lawyers for California and the Justice Department will present their final arguments in San Francisco in the state’s suit, California vs. Ross, that seeks to block the change. At the same time, the Supreme Court justices will meet privately to weigh the administration’s request to decide the issue on a fast track in the case from New York.
Solicitor Gen. Noel Francisco said the high court must act now because the Census Bureau needs to begin printing forms by summer.

I’m anxious to see how Ginsburg comes down on this. I’m sure she’s been diligently poring over the briefs the past few days.

If the Census determines the representation of each state, why would foreigners be included? If a state is over represented because of foreigners, doesn't it diminish the voice of ACTUAL Americans in their own representative government?

This is huge. It could chop California's electoral votes at the knees and distribute them to GOP states.

She will be “dead” set against it.

In a serious country- fill in the blank.

The righteous horse shite accompanying the declaration of a "sanctuary" city is just cover for the money grab of padding your population stats to get more federal money and House seats.

So they’ll break the law twice then is what the Dems are saying?

Can someone please explain to me how a question on the census is in any way "huge"?
I mean, what's to stop people from just checking "yes" to citizenship - or just leaving it blank?
If they ask the question, a lot of illegals won't fill out the form. That fact is, a lot of illegals already don't fill out the form. They get counted anyway - at least by estimates.

So. They admit the question was on the American Community Survey (at least, until it as removed under Obama).
How is the question constitutional for the ACS, but not for the Census as a whole?
Nice logical pretzel you have there...
