That would benefit non-Hispanic whites and help Trump\u2019s fellow Republicans gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures, the critics said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said he is exploring whether the census, which the U.S. Constitution requires be carried out every 10 years, can be delayed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter,\u201d Trump wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The census launch date &#8211; April 1 &#8211; is written into a federal law called the Census Act, known as Title 13. To delay the 2020 census without running afoul of federal law would require Congress to change the law, according to Margo Anderson, a U.S. census historian and professor at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. Delaying the census by executive action would be unprecedented, Anderson added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s administration has told the courts that its rationale for adding the question was to better enforce a law that protects the voting rights of racial minorities. Critics called that rationale a pretext, with the Supreme Court\u2019s majority embracing that theory.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts said that under a U.S. law called the Administrative Procedure Act, the federal government is required to give a reasoned explanation for its actions. Roberts said the sole stated rationale &#8211; enforcement of the Voting Right Act &#8211; \u201cseems to have been contrived\u201d and was \u201cmore of a distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are presented, in other words, with an explanation for agency action that is incongruent with what the record reveals about the agency\u2019s priorities and decision-making process,\u201d Roberts wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccepting contrived reasons would defeat the purpose of the enterprise,\u201d Roberts added.<\/p>\n<p>The court ruled against the challengers in a separate 5-4 vote, with all the conservative justices in the majority, that the Constitution does not in theory prevent the administration or a future one from adding a citizenship question.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the ruling issued on the last day of the court\u2019s current term, the justices sent the issue back to the Commerce Department for it to decide whether to provide a different rationale for requiring people taking part in the census to declare whether they are citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Such a determination from a federal agency normally would take weeks or months. The administration previously said census forms need to be printed in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is really no time,\u201d said Dale Ho, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the challengers.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Torchinsky, a lawyer and Republican redistricting strategist, said the deadline could be extended to the fall, enabling the Supreme Court to review the new decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t need to redo the entire administrative process, they just need to better justify what they did, in a way that can satisfy the Supreme Court,\u201d Torchinsky said.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Department spokeswoman Kelly Laco said the administration is disappointed by the Supreme Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday handed President Donald Trump a stinging defeat, blocking his contentious citizenship question planned for the 2020 census because officials gave a \u201ccontrived\u201d rationale and prompting Trump to suggest an extraordinary delay in the constitutionally mandated population count.
