Supreme Court rules AGAINST Trump over census citizenship question
The Supreme Court found Thursday that the Trump administration did not give an adequate reason for adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, blocking the question for at least the time being.
The move is a surprise win for advocates who opposed the question's addition, arguing it will lead to an inaccurate population count. The administration had argued the question was needed to enforce the Voting Rights Act.
VERTISEMENT
The justices sent the issue back to the Commerce Department to provide another explanation.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined with the court's liberal wing in delivering the court's opinion.
Roberts wrote "that the decision to reinstate a citizenship question cannot be adequately explained in terms of DOJ’s request for improved citizenship data to better enforce the [Voting Rights Act]."
"Several points, considered together, reveal a significant mismatch between the decision [Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross] made and the rationale he provided."
Roberts pointed to evidence showing that Ross, whose department oversees the census, intended on including a citizenship question on the census "about a week into his tenure, but it contains no hint that he was considering VRA enforcement in connection with that project."
And he noted that the Justice Department didn't indicate any interest in the citizenship data until contacted by Commerce officials, and that the evidence "suggests that DOJ's interest was directed more to helping the Commerce Department than to securing the data."
"Altogether, the evidence tells a story that does not match the explanation the secretary gave for his decision," Roberts wrote.
"In the Secretary’s telling, Commerce was simply acting on a routine data request from another agency. Yet the materials before us indicate that Commerce went to great lengths to elicit the request from DOJ (or any other willing agency)," he continued. "And unlike a typical case in which an agency may have both stated and unstated reasons for a decision, here the VRA enforcement rationale—the sole stated reason—seems to have been contrived. We are presented, in other words, with an explanation for agency action that is incongruent with what the record reveals about the agency’s priorities and decisionmaking process."
However, the chief justice said that the decision to add the citizenship question was not "substantively invalid."
"But agencies must pursue their goals reasonably," Roberts said. "What was provided here was more of a distraction."

Report: Trump And Xi Agree To A Potential Trade Truce — With Conditions
The U.S. and China have agreed to a possible trade-war truce.
Talks between the two countries about a potential agreement, of which details and preconditions are already being laid out, are expected to resume at the G-20 summit this coming weekend, Politico reported Thursday.
A trade agreement between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping would stop the implementation of additional U.S. tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports and duties of up to 25% on remaining untaxed Chinese goods.
Xi is expected to present to Trump with the precondition that the U.S. remove its ban on Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies before the summit, according to a Thursday report from The Wall Street Journal.
Trump signed an executive order to ban Huawei sales in May citing national security reasons after the U.S. Department of Justice charged the company for bank fraud, wire fraud and violating Iran sanctions, which Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei said would cost the company $30 billion in revenue.
“The reality, though, is President Trump could always have a change of heart,” one source told Politco. “But the truce cake seems to have been baked.”
An administration official told ABC News Thursday that Trump is “quite comfortable with any outcome … So it’s really just, you know, an opportunity for the president to maintain his engagement, as he has, very closely with his Chinese counterpart. Even as trade frictions persist, he’s got the opportunity to see where the Chinese side is since the talks last left off.”
Trump told CNBC on June 10 that “China is going to make a deal because they are going to have to make a deal,” adding that he and the Chinese president have a “great relationship.”

E Jean Carroll Says She Has ‘NOT Been Raped’ Following Trump Accusation
Columnist E. Jean Carroll said she doesn’t consider herself to be a victim and has “not been raped” after she alleged President Donald Trump had sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
Carroll, 75, accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 52 at a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. The accusation came ahead of her upcoming book “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal.” An excerpt of that book describing the alleged sexual assault was published in New York Magazine on June 21.
Various media outlets have interviewed Carroll since the allegation. Most recently, she told The New York Times’ “The Daily” that she isn’t a victim and has “not been raped.”
“Every woman gets to choose her word,” Carroll said. “Every woman gets to choose how she describes it … My word is fight, my word is not the victim one. I have not been raped. Something has not been done to me. I fought.”
In Carroll’s account of the alleged incident, however, she said Trump shoved her against a wall inside of the dressing room, pulled her tights down and penetrated her.
