Supreme Court allows Trump administration to end census count early |
2020-10-14 |
[NBCNEWS] The Supreme Court on Tuesday effectively allowed the government to stop the census count immediately, blocking a lower court order that would have required the Trump administration to continue gathering census information in the field until the end of October.The Census Bureau said it wanted to stop the count so that it could start processing the data to meet a Dec. 31 deadline, set in federal law, for reporting the results to the president. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the government to keep going with its field work until Oct. 31, concluding that a longer time in the field would increase accuracy. In a brief unsigned order, the Supreme Court stayed the appeals court order. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, writing, "The harms caused by rushing this year's census count are irreparable." The states and groups seeking to keep the count going "will suffer their lasting impact for the next ten years," until the next census is conducted. |

#4 ^ they made their bed, let them live in it. They were the ones who have for decades amassed more power and purview of our society. So many times they should have said go (punt) through the Article V process to get what you want. |
