1 / 2 -- Key U.S. Supreme Court justices seemed inclined to let the Trump administration add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census in a clash that will shape the allocation of congressional seats and federal dollars.
The case is the court’s first direct look at an administration initiative since the justices upheld President Donald Trump’s travel ban last year. It will test the court’s willingness to defer to an administration that critics say has a penchant for cutting legal corners. The court’s liberal justices were skeptical, noting that Ross and his aides solicited the Justice Department letter, obtaining it only after failing to procure a request from the Homeland Security Department and after Ross personally asked then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Justice Stephen Breyer responded by citing the trial testimony of John Abowd, the Census Bureau’s chief scientist, who said he was confident the bureau could build a statistical model that would be more accurate.
