The Gang That Can’t Even Do Racism Right

I have a piece for NBC News about how the Trump administration’s attempt to add a discriminatory citizenship question to the 2020 census was done so incompetently and capriciously it was absolutely roasted for multiple legal violations in a closely argued, nearly 300 page opinion by a U.S. District Judge.

The legal case against Ross’s actions here is strong enough that Republican judges would have to be really committed to racisting up the Census to reverse Furman. From the Supreme Court that brought us Shelby County, you never know! But the most likely outcome is that this time the Trump administration’s incompetence saved us from their malevolence.
