President Donald Trump contradicted two of his cabinet agencies to deny fake reports that his administration had agreed to print census forms without a citizenship question.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last week that the Trump administration had not offered a compelling legal argument to include the question, and the president at first claimed the White House lawyer would seek to delay the census process.
But the Department of Justice and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said this week the administration would go ahead and print forms without the question to meet the constitutionally mandated deadline.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has advised President Donald Trump to ignore the U.S. Supreme Courts decision not to allow a citizenship question to be included in the next U.S. Census.
Roy made the remarks during a Twitter conversation about the decision to uphold a lower courts ruling that the citizenship question could not be included while a lawsuit against the move is being litigated.

Completely unforced error, National Review columnist Dan McLaughlin agreed. Court confirmed that Trump had the power to do this, if the Administration had handled it competently.

(271 posts)then people have to refuse to answer it. Everyone. You do not have to answer it if the Supreme Court says it can not be in the census.
DavidDvorkin
(19,485 posts)Then instead of ignoring just that question, many will not return the census form out of fear that leaving that question unanswered will bring dangerous attention to them. The effect on the numbers will still be what the GOP wants.
