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.

#SCOTUS orders coming at 9:30a, followed by the possibility of opinions in argued cases at 10a.
BREAKING: #SCOTUS issues a stay of injunctions against Trump's transgender service ban, allowing the Trump administration to begin enforcing its ban while the case proceeds.
Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan all would have denied the stay — meaning this was a 5-4 decision.

Yet another federal judge, this time in Maryland, has rejected the Trump administration's effort to get litigation challenging a citizenship question in the 2020 Census tossed out — motion to dismiss denied
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5032…
Judge: "Plaintiffs state a plausible claim that Defendants’ decision to reintroduce the citizenship question on the 2020 Census was motivated by discriminatory animus and will result in an adverse effect on immigrants of color" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5032…
This are multiple lawsuits out there challenging the citizenship Q on the 2020 Census, this is one of three (that I'm aware of) filed in Maryland alone. A trial in SDNY began this week after #SCOTUS declined to stop it from happening buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

NEWS: #SCOTUS greenlights nearly all discovery in @NewYorkStateAG & co's #2020Census case, except for Sec. Ross deposition which remains on hold pending further briefing (despite an inaccurate AP story that he “can’t be questioned,” period).
DOJ just filed another motion with the district court to stay @NewYorkStateAG’s #2020Census case ahead of our Nov 5 trial. That’s right - after asking #SCOTUS to stay discovery and losing, they’re trying again with the district court. Seriously.
In our latest filing with the district court, @NewYorkStateAG notes that FOURTEEN judges have thus far rejected DOJ’s efforts to halt her #Census2020 suit.

NEWS: DOJ finally admits that Wilbur Ross talked to Steve Bannon about the decision to demand citizenship info on the #2020Census. Ross suddenly “recalls” this now, in a new DOJ filing in @NewYorkStateAG et al’s suit. It’s no wonder they’ve been fighting Ross’ deposition...
@NewYorkStateAG Here's the full DOJ filing: ag.ny.gov/sites/default/…
Here’s the relevant bit from the March 20, 2018 congressional hearing —>

@RepGraceMeng: “Has the president or anyone in the White House discussed with you or anyone on your team about adding this citizenship question?"

Ross: "I'm not aware of any such.”

On this Independence Day, when we celebrate the U.S. as a democracy and as we await a Scalia-like successor to Justice Kennedy to be nominated for #SCOTUS, some thoughts on how the Court could set the cause of voting rights back significantly in the years to come: /1
The first way that the Court can negatively affect voting rights is by holding that democracy-enhancing laws like the Voting Rights Act or campaign contribution limits are unconstitutional. The second way is by upholding state laws making it harder to register and vote. /2
In the first category, at the top of my list is that #SCOTUS with a fifth hard conservative on race could either hold that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is an unconstitutional racial classification or interpret it so weekly it dies death by 1,000 cuts /3
