The DoC because they would not, did not, could not use language in their filing that forced the court to make a ruling based on legal precedent, and the Court would not make a ruling on a sensitive issue that should not have been viewed as political in nature.

It seems to me that some of the attorneys working for the government are intentionally inept.

Bingo.

And we have a Chief Justice more concerned with maintaining the influence and image of SCOTUS and the judiciary than he is with deciding the laws properly.

The Judiciary was long ago corrupted by activism. Trump has just called it out, but it's not like it was news to anyone. Apparently other than the Chief Justice.

Dan, think this may be in line with your view?

At least they are making the effort to make the census equally meaningful in all areas of the country. I commend them for that. England is now a Muslim country and I do not want something similar to that here.

Dan I think you've read this right from the start. We have a President who can't get the bureaucracy to implement his wishes.

The Justice Department sought to switch out its legal team Monday after some of its attorneys seemed to be giving up on the legal fight. Attorney General Bill Barr told the Associated Press that he had learned from a top DOJ civil attorney leading the litigation effort that multiple people on the team preferred not to continue.
