etuckerAP Pathetic! Stop doing this Psycho’s bidding.

The census should have a question about citizenship so illegals are not included to have proper representation of the American citizens. Common sense.

CONservatives when they lose 👇🏻

Include the question!

It won’t. They don’t get to defy Supreme Court & do whatever they want

Good!!!!

IndivisibleIL Simple: if he gets the question on the census, everyone should just refuse to answer the question. I will be.

We are all paying for this stupidity...

Still puzzled about this. SCOTUS acknowledged the administration has the legal authority to add the question, so what's the debate about motive?! Motive is irrelevant, and precisely why administration will prevail.

I really don't understand the reason for this. I have never answered a census in 50+ years. And I certainly wouldn't answer a citizenship question.

Sounds a lot like their fantastic healthcare plan, infrastructure plan, tariff plan etc.

JoMajority Because they can’t erase their unlawful motive even if they invent a new one (which is gonna be hard when Trump continually sticks his foot in his mouth).

This feels a lot like someone caught breaking into a house telling the police 'I was there to steal their TV' and then later trying to say 'I heard someone calling for help'

Puppets for 45's dictatorship. US has no justice dept. Integrity wiped clean.

It’s not that they’re racist, it’s just that they don’t think nonwhites are worth it.

America needs to know. America deserves to know!!! MAGA!🇺🇸

By exec order

Jrlvr88 vetoenemynews supportgoodnews

I want to know how our tax money was used to assist illegals in our country .

This guy made everything crazy

Who can’t answer a question

USA is now Zimbabwe!

DOJ needs to prosecute DonaldTrump for obstruction of justice and other warranted criminal charges instead of helping him evade the law

Maybe it will come to them via a tweet.

Rationale should be to determine the extent of apportionment distortion resulting from counting illegal aliens. Need a Constitutional amendment to tie apportionment to total of citizens and resident aliens.

Force! Because they can’t do it legally. This administration is trying too strip away the rights of other branches of our government.

hahaha! realDonaldTrump TRUMPSURRENDERS then plays toddler games because he can’t face defeat.

Why are people so reluctant to have this asked? Even the UK census 8 years ago asked if you were an immigrant and if so how long you intended to be in the country for. Wasn't controversial here.

Why not ask? It is data that would provide meaningful information.

It’s almost as if this administration is clueless

Because they got their “instructions” via tweet 🙄

Stop posting these DISGUSTING images.

Only Native Americans are allowed to say Yes, they are a citizen. Everyone else is illegal.

Meanwhile if Lower Courts SCOTUS says something different? I’ve never seen anything like this. Justice Department works only on Trumps behalf on obstruction tactics and not the country

In other words, they admit that the citizenship question has no legal basis, and is merely a means to purely partisan, anti-democratic ends.

What is the Justice Department's rational for TRYING to find LOOPHOLES to provide Trump with an addition to the US Census that' ENTIRELY a political maneuver.

Executive action. Trump wants to be impeached. He has nothing to lose.

Contrived

This is a grotesque use of power CensusQuestion 🚫

Trump's refusal to admit defeat is the one thing I admire about him, in the same way I admire this knight....

This administration never has a clear cut plan for anything

Do they mean that Donald needed to go confer with Graham and Hannity on the golf course to figure out what to do?

Impeach Trump Now

So they missed another deadline?

Judge should have laughed and thrown them out of court

😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just deport all of them... problem solved.

Because it won't happen.

The whiniest racist i tell you

The Media is falling for Trump’s tricks; realDonaldTrump is trying his best to keep the focus away from the looming Mueller Testimony with all kind of insanity & the media is falling for it;
