Cases and Controversies

Deep Dive: Census Hits High Court


Listen Later

The justices will hear arguments on April 23 from lawyers from the Trump administration and New York State on the hot-button issue of whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was within his rights to add a question for the 2020 census asking whether people are U.S. citizens.

It follows last term's controversial decision in the travel ban case, where a majority of the court deferred to Trump's executive judgment, looking past arguments of racial animus. 

Bloomberg Law reporters Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin get you up to speed on the census case and discuss, among other things, whether it will turn into a "Travel Ban, Part Two." 

They also talk to Oklahoma Solicitor General Mithun Mansinghani, who filed an amicus brief supporting the federal government on behalf of a coalition of conservative states.

Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin. 

Guest: Mithun Mansinghani.

Producer: Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch.
