    Why shouldn’t we count people here on visas? Permanent residents?

    No, it applies when he violates and disregards the Constitution, rewrites laws, ignores the language in laws, etc.

    His appointment was George W. Bush's biggest mistake.

    Good point. The Constitution does get a little vague on certain points.

    The three fifths referred to slaves. Are you are saying that illegal aliens are not free persons, but slaves?

    I LOVE it when people post with little to no knowledge of the issue

    Per the ruling:

    2. The Enumeration Clause permits Congress, and by extension
    the Secretary, to inquire about citizenship on the census questionnaire.
    That conclusion follows from Congress’s broad authority over
    the census, as informed by long and consistent historical practice
    that “has been open, widespread, and unchallenged since the early
    days of the Republic.”
    Department of Commerce v. New York, No. 18-966 | Casetext

    That is, the question, in and of itself, does not violate the constitution.

    And so, the Commerce Department --can-- ask about citizenship, so long as the requirements of the
    Administrative Procedure Act are met.

    I think the point is they never intended to only count citizens

    I know, right?

    The SCOTUS has so little impact on our lives. That's why Democrats waived Brett Kavanaugh's nomination through instead of behaving like it was the end of the world.

    It's debatable if Roberts was a mistake...

    It's not debatable that Roberts was Bush's BIGGEST mistake...

    It shouldn't have to be "justified" it's a no brainer to include it. Roberts said in his ruling the question being on the survey is not unconstitutional.

    No it didn't.

    It remains the same pending further details from the Trump administration.

    We do, this wouldn't change that. Those are domiciled legal residents not people here illegally which means temporarily as soon as we catch them.

    Should tourist be counted? At the extreme end I read a essay by a political professor who noted what if an invading army occupied south Florida, would they be counted. What about foreign students going to college here? Domiciled permanent legal residents should be counted ESPECIALLY for purposes of apportionment.

    And it was the North that did not want those permanent domiciled residents counted at all.
