Trump: SCOTUS Citizenship Ruling "Totally Ridiculous"

President Trump believes the Supreme Court's decision to not add a controversial citizenship question to the 2020 Census is "totally ridiculous." In a tweet today, the President said he has "asked lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the U.S. Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter." Trump wondered if "anyone can really believe that as a great Country, we are not able to ask whether or not someone is a Citizen. Only in America!" The high court ruled this morning that the administration's explanation for the question was insufficient. Those opposing the move argued that it could dampen participation by Latinos and other minorities and could undercut their representation in Congress.
