The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to intervene immediately in the census, hours after an appellate court ordered the count extended until the end of the month.
Ask them to force the census to stop counting people as mandated by the constitution?
Be able to have a accurate count without any further counting? Is the argument that they have 100 percent count of everyone in the country?
IMPOTUS runs to GOPSCOTUS.
Sad!
Is SCOTUS more of Donnie’s ‘representatives’ that he runs to? We know he ‘thinks’ CONGRESS is…‘funny’ how this co-equal branches of government just doesn’t resonate with Trump.
If SCOTUS takes this up ASAP, and SCOTUS also follows the Constitution and the required task for the enumeration, then SCOTUS will tell the Executive branch to properly finish the count, even if it requires working well into the next year. Anything less than that would indicate a corrupt SCOTUS.
Not bloody likely, given John ‘BallsAndStrkes’ Roberts penchant for curtailing voting rights.
Sadly I don’t see any indication that the majority on SCOTUS is just not another arm of the corrupt GOP
Seems like it is another “fast track” of something the president wants SCOTUS to fix for him.
Wonder how long the average case takes to make it to the ‘big show’ at SCOTUS.
I mean, everything gets pushed aside AGAIN for the ‘turnip tinted’ whiner. I want to hear SCOTUS say, “This is NOT an emergency… get back in line … and the current ruling is to be followed until WE decide what is on our docket!”
Add this to the “why we need to expand the court” stack of documents.
“So unfair. People can just elect representatives and voice their will.”
It depends on your definition of “suitably”
Justice Department attorneys asked the Supreme Court to intervene on an emergency basis, saying that it would be able to complete an accurate census count without any further counting
WTF? That is really a serious argument presented by the Justice Department of the United States? So can I tell my bank that I can pay off that loan without any further payments? If SCOTUS even agrees to hear this “emergency” case, I fear we are truly fucked post-election day.
