Trump: We're Pushing for the Citizenship Question on the Census

Uh, maybe. Trump tends to be reflexive about claiming that defeats are actually just new offensives in the planning stages.



Well, previously I had expressed doubt. (I had a partial post in draft hours ago.)

But apparently Trump really did tell the DOJ to continue on with the citizenship question.

The Justice Department reversed course Wednesday on whether the 2020 census will be printed without a question on citizenship, after President Donald Trump tweeted out a statement contradicting his own government's position.

In a Wednesday afternoon conference call with U.S. District Judge George J. Hazel of Maryland pressed DOJ lawyers on how they would square the president's tweet saying the government was "absolutely moving forward" in including the question, with the government's position announced just a day before that there would be no citizenship question on the 2020 census.

"We at the Department of Justice have been instructed to examine whether there is a path forward, consistent with the Supreme Court's decision, that would allow us to include the citizenship question on the census," assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's civil division Jody Hunt said on the call. "We think there may be a legally available path under the Supreme Court's decision. We're examining that, looking at near-term options to see whether that's viable and possible."

By the way, this is an Obama-appointed judge.

He's on the left.

Expect extreme bias. Mixed in with not applying the law because he doesn't wanna.
