The administration insists the question is important. Critics say asking it will undermine accuracy.

By Robert Barnes and Robert Barnes Reporter covering the U.S. Supreme Court Email Bio Follow Mark Berman Mark Berman National news reporter Email Bio Follow April 23 at 6:00 AM The Supreme Court on Tuesday takes up the term’s most important case to the Trump administration, whether it may add a question about citizenship to the 2020 Census form sent to every American household.

The case has generated an outpouring of amicus briefs, filed mostly on the side of the states, cities and counties and immigrants rights groups challenging the decision. Experts calculated that adding the question could mean an undercount of as many as 6.5 million people and cause special harm to urban areas and states with large immigrant populations. California, for instance, worries it could lose as many as three congressional seats.

Why would it undermine accuracy? Oh because those that are not supposed to be in this country may not be counted?

Sweet I'll put I'm not a citizenship and they can go to hell. I say we all lie on there.

Let's pretend citizenship isn't the most important demographic.

Census around the corner. Red states gaining populationdue to blue states over taxation. Time to remove delegates from blue states due to losing constituents.

Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh & Alito are all partisan, activist hacks, they will vote for anything that advances right wing ideology and GOP suppression efforts. Our only hope is (and I can’t believe I’m about to type these words) Roberts. God help us all.

It'll take away many representatives in states like CA. But then representatives are suppose to represent the voting CITIZENS, not illegal aliens. Sadly, most democrats already seem to want to represent them and not us.

Obviously the citizen question is not aimed at white voters, knowing realDonaldTrump 's white supremacist underpinnings it's aimed at minorities to intimidate them by making them prove they are citizens. The next thing we'll be hearing is 'Papers Please '

Calling it now. SCOTUS says 'yeah ok' while Kavanaugh demands a 'Do you like beer?' question to be added to the census.

My bet, this decision will change the course of history. And not for the good.

I think everyone should read their duties as a Supreme Court justice.

Can someone explain with facts exactly how this is racist....nice to know how many ARE NOT concerned about citizens

GOP Prepare for another partisan activist court to undermine democracy, again.

And, they’ll no doubt add it, given the new additions Orangey has made to the court. You know, only the best people!! Right, PJ & Squi!

citizenship for Maga s parents in law ?

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. The only issue I have is voters should have an ID that shows citizenship, judicial Watch found over a million illegal votes

Supreme Court takes on LGBT employment discriminationJUST IN: Supreme Court will hear three high-profile cases involving employment discrimination against LGBT Americans, determining whether federal civil rights protections extend to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Can’t wait. Should be very interesting. From a con law perspective, sexual orientation isnt considered a suspect class. However, this could be the term to change that. Lumping all of them into one group doesn't make sense. Being gay is something an individual can accept and not need medication for. Being trans require surgery and/or medication which might not allow them to be suitable for certain positions, such as front line military.
