Trump seeks to override Supreme Court ruling on census 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PressePresident Donald Trump said Friday he was weighing an executive order to overcome a Supreme Court ruling blocking his administration from adding a question about citizenship to the 2020 US census, which opponents say is politically motivated. Asked if he would resort to an executive order to override the Supreme Court’s narrow 5-4 decision, Trump replied: “We’re thinking about doing that. On Friday, they indicated in a fresh court filing that they were looking for new legal rationales for adding the citizenship question that might be accepted by the Supreme Court. But it was virtually certain that any new justification, or any Trump order on the issue, would be challenged immediately in lawsuits, forcing the case back to the high court.
