@ApostleofGrief Additionally, Barr slammed media reports that the White House would issue an executive order in an attempt to illegally force a citizenship question on the census. “In the hysterical mode of the day,” Barr said, media outlets speculated that Trump would simply add the question to the census unilaterally.
This has never been under consideration," Barr said.
For
@CirrhosisDawg the answer to the question you wouldn't answer
The Census Bureau's own experts have said requiring information about citizenship would discourage illegal immigrants from participating and lead to a less accurate count.
That, in turn, would redistribute money and political power away from many cities led by Democrats where immigrants tend to cluster.Barr also agreed with Trump that the Supreme Court decision last month posed insurmountable "logistical" -- but not "legal" -- barriers to asking the citizenship question on the census. The government already has started the lengthy and expensive process of printing the census questionnaire without the question.
Trump had emphasized his exasperation at the situation earlier in the day at a White House conference focused on social media censorship of conservatives.
"We spend $20 billion on a census," Trump told attendees. "They go through houses, they go up, they ring doorbells, they talk to people.
How many toilets do they have? How many desks do they have? How many beds? What's their roof made of? The only thing we can't ask is, are you a citizen of the United States. Isn't it the craziest thing?"DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec told Fox News that Trump's "alternative path" ended the legal fight over the citizenship question.
“The Supreme Court held that Secretary Ross reasonably concluded that including the citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census would provide the most complete and accurate citizenship information, but it invalidated his decision to include that question on other grounds," Kupec said.
Pure fucking politics and another black eye for the insane fucking left
Get ready for an accurate count in time for the 2020 election.

Race has done it again!!!1!!1
As a side benefit he got the usual insane morons like @ApostleofGrief to make the usual wild claims of DICTATORSHIP which were proven to be false. Again
Then we will have the count separate from the census and the truth will come out making it clear why the democrats wanted to hide it in the first place
I agree that losers lose I just question if you realize who the loser is here
Trump said even after the Supreme Court block that he was still planning on getting the citizenship question on the census and he probably decided to use an executive order. I would assume he was talked out of it or just suddenly changed his feeble mind at the last second like the missle strike.
I didn't say the question was against the law. I only the Constitution just demands a count only of everyone and there is no law that mandates asking questions.
The long census questionnaire is massive and sent to a tiny fraction of Americans. The questions are very intrusive. Many people do not comply with it. If you don't fill it out nothing happens although technically it is mandatory.
How loudly would you have cried if Repubs sued Obozo over every decision he makes? Asking for a friend.
I didn't say the question was against the law.
the Constitution says to COUNT not ask 4th Amendment violating questions.
