#1 They are NOT Citizens, Damnit. What kind of Bench are you sitting at?
You are the Worst Justice since Hugo Black.
This is leftist Pavlom - Lawless to it's core.

#2 A 'deeply divided' court - assisted by statements made by a sitting Justice.

#3 ..deeply divided between those who believe they are the law and those who believe that which is written in the Constitution is the law.

#5 stretch deference beyond the breaking point

Just do your fucking job, Hag. Yours is not to analyze or control whom the truth favors in the end.

#6 Electoral votes are apportioned based on voters, not simply people living in a district. This is a no-brainer.

#7 RJ, is that right? For a long time slaves couldn't vote but their numbers (well, 60% of them) were counted in determining the number of Representatives, and thus the Electoral College representation.

#8 A coalition of civil rights groups and Democratic state governments sued to stop the question’s inclusion, saying it will depress minority participation in the census.

Not including the census question on citizensip seems like it would defeat the purpose of the census, that is counting the population. The census is also necessary to determine the numbers in the House and the number of Electors from each State and how Federal funds are to be allocated.

#9 Glenmore, now I'm doubting myself. Were women counted as part of the census before they were allowed to vote?

#10 Women were counted.

#11 re #8: JohnQC, your last sentence explains exactly why Democrat-run states want the citizenship question banned. If the census doesn't count the non-citizens, their population is less, so they don't get as many representatives in the House, and they get less Federal money to spend.

#12 ...its more than that. If the preliminary numbers are available NLT October 2020, it will be 'interesting' when far more votes are cast the next month in a district/state than there are adult citizens.
