Chicago v. Fulton (January 14, 2021)

Trump’s Manipulation of the Courts
Justia's Verdict,
Steven D. Schwinn, a professor of law at the University of Illinois Chicago John Marshall Law School, explains how the Supreme Court’s recent decision allowing the Trump administration to proceed with efforts to exclude undocumented aliens from the census is consistent with the administration’s manipulation of the courts to achieve illegal policy.
