DIARY / davenj1 // Posted at 6:16 am on February 18, 2019 by davenj1
The United States Supreme Court will convene on February 19th for their February sitting. They are scheduled to hear eight cases- two of which are of importance to conservatives. Decisions in these two cases will be closely watched. The following is a summary of all eight cases to be heard.
Feb. 19th- US Department of Commerce vs. US District Court for Southern District of New York
The Department of Commerce, which is responsible for the census every ten years, decided to include a question about citizenship on the form in 2020. Several immigrant rights groups immediately sued in federal court arguing that such a question would discourage illegal immigrants from responding. This would, in turn, create an artificial decrease in the reporting of actual population. The government retorts that the question had previously been used in the census and that some Census Bureau surveys still use the question.
