Only temporary, and this isn’t over. Basically gives Commerce another shot at making up a Bullshit lie about their motives which Scotus would buy.

My bar was low enough for these guys that I’m genuinely impressed.

Edit: was unaware of the gerrymandering decision. Nevermind

This and the gerrymandering fiasco are supposed to balance each other out.

So both the good guys and the bad guys won one.

(No, justice and the law aren’t supposed to work that way.)

This is a one-time victory, while the gerrymandering case will have reverberations for decades.

One step forward and five steps back.

I happy to see this decision, but confused about how the SC previously upheld the ‘temporary’ travel ban, which was based on similarly fictitious claims.

No. Commerce has maintained steadfastly that it needs to start printing the forms on Monday.

Yep. Seems like a “give us a better fig leaf” decision.

Don’t worry, the GOP and its PACs will be all over the airwaves fearmongering to the Hispanic and undocumented community about what will happen to them and their loved ones if they submit their Census Questionnaire.

In other news Trump instructed the Justice Department to sue the Supreme Court over their decision, adding that he’ll just sign another EO if he has to.

But it is late in the ball game to come up with another reason and get it included.

Well, the partisan gerrymandering offsets this. Can’t delegitimize the court in one fell swoop.

“Altogether, the evidence tells a story that does not match the explanation the Secretary gave for his decision,” Roberts said, calling the VRA justification a “distraction” and” contrived.”

When even Roberts says that Ross lied, it is time for Ross to be impeached.

But that was in the expectation of a win.

Now that Red line is going to magically be pushed back by a few months to give them another bite at the apple.

This doesn’t make up for the gerrymandering decision, Roberts

Without a doubt the census will include the question . Will Commerce even go theough the motions of providing a rationale?
