Judge rejects citizenship question for 2020 U.S. census


NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday rejected the Trump administration’s plan to add a U.S. citizenship question to the 2020 census, the first ruling in a handful of lawsuits nationwide that claim the question will hurt immigrants.

Supreme Court has scheduled the citizenship question/census case for April. Decision by June, then. Most likely.

Fine. Just do it. And then we will move on, one way or the other.

Another federal judge blocks 2020 census citizenship question


U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco on Wednesday became the second federal judge to block the Trump administration's plan to include a citizenship status question on the 2020 census, a controversial request that has triggered a slew of court challenges.

Details: Seeborg wrote that including the question, which is used to apportion congressional seats, is "quite effective at depressing self-response rates among immigrants" and that it "poses a significant risk of distorting" congressional representation among the states. The Supreme Court is set to hold a hearing on April 23 to review the government's appeal of a New York federal judge's decision in January to eliminate the question.

This issue is going to be decided by the Supreme Court. The liberal federal judge ruling means little; the case is already in front of the Supreme Court and will be decided shortly.

The citizenship question has been part of the Census for many years in the U.S. "The decennial census generally included a citizenship inquiry for more than 100 years through 1950". Up until 2000 the citizenship question was included on long form surveys which were sent to every one out of six households.

I doubt this fact will have any bearing on the Courts decision, nor should it. It would be like arguing, "cocaine was obtainable without a prescription in the U.S. for more than 100 years. " Other arguments will prevail. When we see protagonists falling back on such hollow arguments it makes them appear rather stupid. I can't see that such an argument will have any persuasive effect whatsoever on a court that certainly is not stupid. I have no idea how they will rule, but we can rest assured the decision will be based on more substantive arguments.
