Chief Justice planned to support Trump census citizenship question before changing his mind

 | September 12, 2019 04:19 PM


Chief Justice John Roberts was planning to vote in favor of President Trump's citizenship question on the 2020 census before reversing course and striking it down.

Sources familiar with Supreme Court deliberations told CNN on Thursday that Roberts, 64, had initially planned on supporting the census question after hearing oral arguments in April. Roberts changed his mind after believing the reason for the question was invented rather than necessary.

Roberts' decision is similar to his one to uphold The Affordable Care Act in 2012 after initially privately siding with the four dissenting conservative justices in wanting to strike down the individual insurance mandate.

In June, the Supreme Court ordered the case involving the citizenship question back to lower court. Roberts said there was a "significant mismatch" in Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross's reasoning behind the case.

The Supreme Court left open the door for the Trump administration to justify the question, but the president decided to leave the question off the census for now.

Robert's apparent subjective approach to the law is troubling.

I am convinced that Roberts is being blackmailed over the adoption of his children.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

They're both 16 years old now. What can possibly be done to them now if it turns out they were illegally adopted?
