CNN is reporting that Trump is going to give up on trying to put the citizenship question in the census. According to the report he's going to give himself some fig leaf by saying he's going to get citizenship data through some other means..
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive action Thursday directing the Commerce Department to obtain citizenship data through means other than the US census, according to two people with knowledge of the plan.
These people said Trump is expected to table his effort to add a question about citizenship status to the 2020 census, setting aside his demands last week to continue pursuing the issue despite a Supreme Court order blocking it.
Given all of the pushback that came from the District Courts the Courts of Appeals and the Supreme Court as well as the line attorneys in the Justice Department it appears that Barr finally came to his senses and told Trump to give up the ghost.
Now it's onto the next Trump manufactured outrage.
