It seems like what the Trump maladministration wants is not to count anyone who can not vote. So is Trump planning on eliminating children? What about felons in states that have lost their franchise?

I think you meant the Trump administration only wants to count white male property owners who vote for Republicans.

I worked the last census. We counted the population in jails/prisons and hospitals and wherever people could be counted… food banks, convents, rehab facilities, homes for battered women and unwed mothers and we counted all “persons” (as required by the constitution) regardless of age, color or sex. Apparently, that is not what the bloated yam in the white house wants this time around.
And why is it that everything trump wants to do has to be fast-tracked to the Supreme court?
Can we just get rid of all of the other courts (district, circuit and appeals) and get quick decisions like the ass hat president?
