AG Barr says the Supreme Court was wrong, it is legal to ask about citizenship on the Census, they'll be announcing another way soon:

So, executive branch ignores ruling by the judicial branch, and the legislative branch just sits there and claims either everything is fine or there's no reason to act. Squinting

This is a true constitutional crisis. The executive branch is flagrantly ignoring the Constitution and the legislative branch is doing nothing about it. Disgusting

It's all because our Constitution was designed for Legislative and Executive and Judicial to "check & balance" one another along those institutional lines, and within the Legislative even with the House/Senate. As well as federal/state.

That's why Washington argued against partisanship, which happened quickly after the new government formed, within his own administration.

The Constitution wasn't built to deal with this situation, especially since we've now moved into hyper-partisanship. The rivalry being between political parties instead of these institutions undermines the whole system set-up by the Constitution.

The question is how do we resolve this without going to a new Constitution (and whatever it would entail to get there, and is overall highly unlikely)?

I did it a couple days ago.

What does everyone think of the questions?

I'm glad there were multiple racial/ethnic options. Was anything excluded that should not have been?

I hope in 2030 there is non-binary option for gender.

So how much longer until we have enough of the Census results in until we know how the House will look for the 2020's?

And to have complete-enough updated demographic data to make maps like this:

This census is already out of date, with how the pandemic really erupted just after the Census date. I don't think there's ever been a Census result so quickly made inaccurate.
