The Supreme Court seemed divided along ideological lines as the justices heard arguments about the Trump administration’s move to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census

The Supreme Court seemed divided along ideological lines Tuesday as the justices heard arguments about the Trump administration’s move to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census.

After Solicitor General Noel Francisco suggested that the courts should not meddle in Ross’s decision, Justice Stephen Breyer said there surely had to be some point at which a question is so bizarre that it would be unlawful to add it without proper justification.

Chief Justice John Roberts also seemed to be in the same camp as Gorsuch and Alito, but was somewhat less strident in his questions. In one prickly moment towards the end of the argument, Sotomayor went after Francisco for suggesting that removing the citizenship question would allow groups to alter the census by “boycotting” any question they objected to. Americans who may object to the binary question on gender could try refusing to answer that query, he said.

TRAITOR Sonia Sotomayor siding w non-citizens on census question while her- alikes- puertorricans american citizens, can NOT vote in a U.S. Presidential Election. USSupremeCourt

Of course. Republicans are trying to put the boot to the necks of Latinos in this country. It is a filthy business.

This woman needs to recuse herself from census case! She has shown her basis through her recent interview! She’s unable to provide unbiased option! HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateGOP SenateDems

It affect her people

She needs to stop using oral arguments as her pulpit. Biased disgrace to the court.

Sounds like she lacks the temperment to serve on our nation’s highest court.

What a surprise

This will affect our communities because we won't get the funding we need from the government the people won't be counted because there to afraid to fill out the census form.racists

I will skip any questions I don't like n that will be that.

Two questions about the case: 1) Can the Supreme Court mandate an instruction that answering the citizenship question is optional? 2) Can the 2020 census be re-run in 2021, assuming that a new president takes office and the citizenship question is removed?

How dare people not be allowed to sneak across the border and demand their share of the US entitlement!

Why should the U.S. Supreme Court even consider counting illegals as U.S. Citizens when they aren't U.S. Citizens & should be deported in violation of the Supreme Laws of the Land. Dem Congress refuses to amend their unconstitutional laws such as Open Borders & Detain & Release!

COUNT CITIZENS ONLY!

Don't be afraid of a question your clean right ?

Nooooo Waaaaayyyyy

Sotomayor is an activist & should not be on the Supreme Court!!

Total Attempt to Surpress vote..at some GD point..GOP has to win on ISSUES..as there numbers dwindling.. my GOD..so you suppress down to 26% of population...

Supreme Court to decide if Trump administration can ask about citizenship in 2020 censusThe US Supreme Court hears its highest profile case of the term Tuesday — a battle over the Trump administration's plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census form that goes to every US household. Everyone just answer, yes. We say they can ask about citizenship once Trump proves that Obama was born in Kenya, he proves that he and his wife are citizens and turns over his tax returns that have been under “routine audit” for three years... This should actually help those sanctuary states to receive more funding , I don’t think it should be an issue.
