The DOJ has asked the Supreme Court to take up all outstanding challenges to the Census citizenship question next month. The Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments next month on the New York state citizenship case. So this would mean adding a California suit in which a federal judge found that the question violated the Enumeration Clause. The deadline for printing the forms is in June. So all recognize there is a premium on having the issue resolved before then.
