What happens when tRump ignores the SCOTUS and includes the citizenship Q on the census?

Because you know there’s around a 75/25 chance that he will ignore them, even if it means creating a Constitutional crisis.

1. Unfortunately, nothing.

Why? Because John Roberts doesn't have the balls to go against a Republican when it really matters.

2. Well, if I am lucky enough to be hired by the Census

to verify residents and get forms filled out, I won't ask the question. I'll write "per SCOTUS, N/A" as an answer.

If #45 wants that answer completed he can damn well go knock on the doors his own damn self

6. Don't do that.

I was a census supervisor in the 1990 census. It just creates supervision nightmares, and won't accomplish anything because someone higher up will recode it.

I had to supervise the recoding, in that census, of all the forms with same-sex households who declared themselves married (including me).

I obviously have no problem with individual civil disobedience - I engaged it myself, as a private citizen in answering the question accurately (but not inaccordance with the terms of the question asked). But doing as you suggest is not substantively different from the druggist refusing to dispense the morning after pill because he believes it is killing babies. In each case an individual employed to do a job believes a portion of that job to be morally abhorrent, and refuses to do it. If it is acceptable for you to act on your morals - then we have to accept that it is also acceptable for the druggist to act on theirs. That's a slippery slope not worth dying on.

3. Do a campaign.

Tell everyone depending on how the the question is setup to respond with Mars or Venus.

You may have to select a country from a drop down list. If that is the case, probably select other and then do Mars or Venus.

4. Let's not overreach...

First, it wouldn't go to the Supreme Court; it would go the District Court. Second, ultimately a career professional rather than a political appointee would be responsible for implementation, and wouldn't want to risk civil or criminal penalties.

5. Court could institute emergency injunction and order Federal Marshalls to conviscate

Courts, unlike Congress, have the power of law enforcement to enforce and YES, even with AG Barr in office.
