How Trump Can Resurrect the Census Question

June 27, 2019 at 12:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Rick Hasen: “Despite a favorable ruling for opponents of the census citizenship question on Thursday, the Supreme Court did not definitively decide to exclude citizenship question from the 2020 census.”

“Indeed, I expect that the Trump administration’s Commerce Department and Department of Justice could well be back before the Supreme Court’s next term begins in October arguing for the question’s inclusion, and they could well win and include the question.”
