Damn! All that incriminating evidence, too much to ignore. Such deception by defendants.
with an opinion that said it “is becoming difficult to avoid seeing that which is increasingly clear.”
“We’ll find a way,” Brett Kavanaugh said, with 4 other justices concurring.
The new evidence, Hazel said, points to a “possible, if not likely, conclusion that the decisionmakers adopted Dr. Hofeller’s discriminatory purpose for adding the citizenship question.”
Pedantry alert: I have always had problems with this phrase. It’s simply ambiguous. It can either mean “indeed likely” or “but unlikely”.
The conservative justices already have what they want, a lifetime appointment. And being good republicans who have what they wanted they will do what they always do, pull up the ladder behind them. Elections are so for the little people.
Promising news.
Thank you Tierny Sneed - keeping us among the most informed news readers on the court cases and other developments around GOP attempts to “win” elections by defrauding democracy via vote minimization and other awful tactics.
“It doesn’t matter that Trump said on multiple occasions that he was instituting a Muslim Ban. It’s not the place of the Courts to determine the motives of the Executive Branch.”
…They already have the Decision on file that they’re going to rely on here…
So your opinion is that we just give up because the Supremes are corrupt and will do whatever Trump wants?
There is ZERO evidence in their overall decisions to support such a “woe is us” attitude.
There was their Muslim ban decision.
Bookmark it. I think we should hear this week on this case.
You can either laugh at me or bow to my cynicism when they do the 5-4 drill.
“any prejudice that Defendants now face is partially of their own making.”
I guess 99.9% is “partially”…
We are seeing these “FAKE CRISIS” popping up over and over again with this ILLEGITIMATE administration!
This is a HUGE PROBLEM!
Likewise, with Kavanaugh… “it is becoming difficult to avoid seeing that which is increasingly clear”
So the GOP wants to steal elections for the next 10 years by corrupting the Census.
That is completely obvious.
One bad decision does not a trend make.
I think they’ll punt because of the new evidence.
But remember – We can never truly know what’s in the heart of someone else who left behind decades of empirical data, reams of unassailable documentation, explicitly-phrased discriminatory language, and a damning email trail among criminal co-conspirators who lied under oath.
We’ll just never know.
That’s sarcasm, right?
10 Internet shots, you’ve got a bet! Payout should be Friday, I think.
The Census is mandated by law. But is funding the Census therefore mandatory? I can see the GOP taking their ball and going home if they lose this. Trump just orders the Census Bureau de-funded. No money, no Census.
"that which is increasingly clear” = GOP is a bunch of deplorable racists
Glad to see this from the Judge. Despite the power of conservatives on the high court, lower court judges have shown no fear of them. They don’t respect the tortured often bad faith analysis that the conservative judges deploy to come to their rulings. All we can do is make it as hard as possible for the conservative justices to engineer results for their political allies.
