The Supreme Court has rescued hundreds of millions of dollars in education funding for Hispanic school districts by refusing—for now—to allow the Trump Administration to add a citizenship question on the 2020 census
Share to twitterThe Supreme Court says the Trump Administration is in"bad faith" with regard to the citizenship question on the census. , the Supreme Court has delivered an extraordinary rebuke to the Trump Administration. It held that the administration was being dishonest in explaining why it chose to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census. Federal courts are usually very reluctant to challenge the honesty of a presidential administration.
This decision shows that the Trump administration’s infamous dishonesty may be catching up with it. Last year, a sharply divided Supreme Court was willing to take the administration at its word that a travel ban that affected majority Muslim countries was not directed at keeping Muslims out of the country, despite harsh anti-Muslim rhetoric from President Trump. But this time, the Court balked.
The decision to add the citizenship question to the census was made by Trump’s Secretary of Commerce. The Supreme Court wrote: “Our scope of review is narrow: we determine only whether the Secretary examined the relevant data and articulated . . . a rational connection between the facts and the choice made [to add the citizenship question]”.
