Secretary wilbur ross said the census forms were being printed without the question and after the administration was forced to do a screeching 180 when the president tweeted this. he was absolutely moving forward with the question. got all that? now the administration is getting slapped down again. so why do they keep forcing the issue? civil rights group say including the question will scare off legal immigrants as well as undocumented immigrants. which if you ask speaker nancy pelosi that may ...

As well take a shot which is the not exactly the most confidence inspiring statement about a legal plan ive ever heard. i mean the supreme courts decision said at -- said a lot of things but two in particular. one this decision has to happen by june 30th because you cant change the forms after that date, and two, the attempt to put a citizenship question on the questionnaire is illegal. i think that ends the story. >> so what happens if the president just does go ahead and put this question on t...

Census forms? i mean, theres a lot of ineptitude on display here from the trump administration, for sure, but there could be serious consequences ahead, even if they continue to lose in court. for one thing, if the goal of the citizenship question is to depress latino participation in the census then trump and barr at all may accomplish that goal just by sowing confusion about whether the question is included. and second, there is the real possibility here that we could be rolling toward an even...

We can do a memorandum. there are other alternatives. >> joining me now is a former secretary of congress, he oversaw the 2010 census, and he has been appointed by ja inslee to monitor how the census in his home state is being conduct. senator, thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> you have ran and directed a census before, the 2010 census. if you were in the middle of printing the survey, which is happening now, in the midst of a legal battle over adding a question and the governments le...

For the citizenship question which was that what -- that state was needed for voting rights act they found that, that was in the words of john roberts, quote, contrived, the other four conservatives on supreme court said all that was required was a reasoned explanation and that no further analysis should be done. so certainly as president trump said that door is potentially open for a new rational being put forward but a huge complication of the fact that the census forms are already being preci...

Question out into the census and in anticipation of an executive order the aclu asked federal judge to permanently block the commerce department from adding citizenship question with groups director saying, quote, the trump administration repeatedly argued the census forms cannot be altered after june 30th, theyve now changed their tune because the supreme court ruled against them. they cant have it both ways, trumps lawlessness will not go unanswered. there is no official deadline for when the ...

That state was needed for voting rights act they found that, that was in the words of john roberts, quote, contrived, the other four conservatives on supreme court said all that was required was a reasoned explanation and that no further analysis should be done. so certainly as president trump said that door is potentially open for a new rational being put forward but a huge complication of the fact that the census forms are already being precincted but it is a mass and could be a way forward le...

Justification for adding this question, perhaps the equation would change. although critics say its unlikely that will happen. earlier this week, president trump created a bit of confusion when he tweeted that he is refusing to back down from the battle to get citizenship included on the census, after commerce secretary wilbur ross said, victor and jessica that he was going to go ahead and put in the census forms. >> thanks so much. a cnn exclusive, former vice president joe biden sat down wit...

That it seemed contrived purpose for having that citizenship question. and we, of course, know that theres a republican operative that was saying that by having such a question they could depress the turnout of immigrants, as well as hispanics and asians. so there is a purpose behind this, and i was heartened to hear the supreme court decision being made. but still, president trump is trying to depress that turnout. i think hes doing it against the odds since the census forms are already being p...

Supreme courts decision that would allow the question on the cens census. we think there may be a legally available path under the supreme court decision. that is lawyer speak for giving it another try. and that is really the urgent traffic right now because the president is acknowledging that the clock is ticking because the census forms are being printed and the president is holding open the option of an addendum. but as long as census forms are being printed without that question on it, they ...
