SCOTUS decision
blocks add'n of citizenship question
4 now,
but appeared 2 leave open possibility
admin could make another attempt to add it.

Census Bureau poised 2 print
2020 census forms in nxt few days,
making add'n of ? potentially impossible.

In unusually sharp terms,
Roberts criticized
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
+ admin 4 essentially fabricating case
4 citizenship ?,
rejecting its claim in court
it was a solely a request of Justice Department
4 help enforcing Voting Rights Act.

*Cough
"Altogether, evidence tells story
that does not match explanation
Sec'y gave 4 his decision.
🤣
In Sec'ys telling,
Com was simply act'g on
routine data rqst from another agency.
Yet materials B4 us indicate
Com went 2 great lengths
2 elicit request from DOJ
or other willing ag"
"And unlike typical case
in which an agency may have
both stated + unstated reasons
4 decision,
here the VRA enforcement rationale
—the sole stated reason—
seems 2 have been contrived."👈🔥🤣

Chief Justice Roberts
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
"We cannot ignore the disconnect 👈
between the decision made +
the explanation given,"
Roberts adds.

"Our review is deferential,
but we are 'not required
2 exhibit a naiveté
from which ordinary citizens are free.'
🤣~CONTRIVED~🤣

"Accepting contrived reasons👈🔥🤣
would defeat purpose of the enterprise.
If judicial review is 2 B more than an empty ritual,
it must demand something better than
the explanation offered for the action taken in this case,"
Roberts said.
"We do not hold
agency decision here
was substantively invalid.
But agencies must pursue
their goals reasonably.👈

Reasoned decision-making under
Administrative Procedure Act
calls 4 an explanation 4 agency action.

What was provided here was more of a distraction."👈🔥🤣
