This is another step in the wrong direction. When forms are sent out, mine will go in the garbage. What is the point of a census that doesn’t require citizenship? I’m just saying. Why did this even come up? Why did it go to the Supremes? They’re not winning any contests lately. They aren’t supposed to be political, are they?

Sadly, the court has become nothing but an assembly of political puppets.

Based on some of his decisions I am beginning to believe someone has a hold on Roberts. Just my opinion.

This is not their final decision. They requested a more in depth statement before rendering it. I think they will allow the citizenship question. If they do not, it means that CA will gain a couple of Democrats in the House because of their 2.5 million wetbacks. (at least). Since there can only be 435 representatives that means another state will lose some. You can bet your butt it won't be a blue state that gets targeted.

SCOTUS has been politicized like never before. See how the GOP are crowing about all the "conservative" judges put on the bench in the last year? The MSM always talk about "liberal" judges" versus "conservative" judges adding fuel to the fire.

To be clear, the Constitution is neither liberal, conservative or any variation of same, it is....................American.

On the flip side though they did rule Consistently with prior rulings on gerrymandering allegations..
They kicked it back after having already ruled on other states complaints..

On Thursday, the Supreme Court dealt a historic defeat to redistricting reformers when it ruled 5-4 along ideological lines that challenges to partisan gerrymandering could not be adjudicated under the U.S. Constitution, pushing the next battles over these maps to the states.

The two cases under review dealt with congressional maps from a pair of states: a Democratic gerrymander in Maryland and a Republican gerrymander in North Carolina. Holding that there was no workable standard to determine when such maps go too far, the Supreme Court’s partisan Republican majority overturned two lower court decisions that had thrown out both maps last year.

Don’t ya just love the title thrown down by DailyKos~~ Another reason I chose their report on it..

9 to 0 should tell you something. The census provides the state legislatures with the demographics to establish state congressional districts (gerrymandering). That is a states rights matter. The SCOTUS refused to get involved in state politics, the decision upheld the concept of Federalism. IOW, the decision was constitutional, not political.

The citizenship question is not a final decision. It was kicked back downstairs for a more definitive presentation.

Anything that returns power from DC and back to the people and states I'm for. I'm sick of the elite and them believing they have a right to rule over us.

Maybe there’s hope that John Roberts isn’t a blind ideologue after all. The citizenship question on the census was a brazen GOP power grab.

So it is your considered opinion that California, with it's 2.5 million illegal alien criminals allowed to live there should be rewarded with more Congressional representation at the expense of a state that does not tolerate these huge numbers of wetbacks? Nice to know you think wetbacks are more important than US citizens and legal immigrants. Maybe if we are lucky, we will see you get to live under the kind of government you promote. I would pay folding money to hear your butthurt whining when that happens.
