NEW: Quick diversion from the Barr hearing to note a big opinion this morning out of SDNY — following an eight-day bench trial, a judge has found that the Trump admin's decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census is unlawful assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5684…
Judge Jesse Furman slams Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross, writing that Ross engaged in "a veritable smorgasbord of classic, clear-cut [Administrative Procedure Act] violations"
Furman ruled for the challengers on the APA issue, but concluded that they did *not* carry their burden on the consitutional claim, which accused Ross of being motivated by "invidious discrimination" in violation of the Due Process Clause
Furman ponders whether the challengers might have been able to prove the discrimination claim if they'd been allowed to depose Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross, but SCOTUS blocked that
A number of district court judges have ruled against the Trump administration in litigation over the citizenship question, but this was the first trial and this is now the first final order from a judge blocking the addition of the question of the 2020 Census
