NEWS: Challengers in the Census citizenship question case ask #SCOTUS to dismiss the case before the justices, which is over evidence allowed, saying the Ross deposition issue is moot and other questions can be resolved on any appeal of final judgment. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1… 
This is a smart filing, IMHO, and interesting that the challengers are moving more quickly than DOJ following Tuesday's trial court decision in the case. (See: buzzfeednews.com/article/domini…)
BREAKING: DOJ has filed notice that it is appealing this week's ruling against the Trump administration's sought inclusion of a citizenship question on the once-a-decade Census.
To be clear, and as all the legal folks are discussing, this does NOT mean that DOJ will NOT be going directly to #SCOTUS. This, at this point, is a procedurally necessary step regardless of whether they take the appeal to the 2nd Circuit or ask SCOTUS for immediate review.
