Trump's statement that they want the citizenship question for use in redistricting is awkward given that the Solicitor General told the Supreme Court the exact opposite a few weeks ago -- the SG specifically said that was not their motive.
And on top of this, of course, with know from the Hofeller memo that the goal of using citizenship in redistricting is to help "Republicans and non-Hispanic Whites." So Trump is now adopting that motivation, full stop.

Unless and until Democrats expand SCOTUS to nullify the stolen Garland seat and the appalling confirmation of rapist and partisan hack Kavanaugh, SCOTUS will have no legitimacy and will be nothing more than an arm of the Republican party.
Today's gerrymandering decision makes clear that the SCOTUS right wing majority is not concerned with law or precedent, and is only concerned with expanding and entrenching Republican power in government. It's sickening.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
