Today the world celebrates one of the final centenarian milestones of the Great War, the signing by the victorious Allied Powers and defeated Germany of the Treaty of Versailles, which brought to an end the First World War. Although U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had hoped to conclude a peace based on his “14 Points” speech to Congress delivered on January 8, 1918, the blood debt incurred by the allies made such an idealistic peace impossible. Allied politicians had to justify to their constituencies the slaughter of a generation of young men in the trenches. One way to do this, in their eyes, was to ensure German militarism would never rise again.

About this time, Donald Trump’s political advisors are likely begging the president to follow the time-tested truism first uttered by Napoleon: Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself. Not that Trump will listen.

On June 27, the last day of the term, the Supreme Court decided Department of Commerce v. New York, a case exploring legal issues surrounding the addition of the question, “Is this person a citizen of the United States?” on the 2020 census. The court held that the proposed citizenship question does not violate the Constitution, which vests broad discretion in the US government in deciding how to conduct the census. They also ruled that Ross’ decision did not violate the Administrative Procedure Act. This act requires that certain procedures are followed in administrative decisions and that agency officials offer reasoned and rational explanations for their decisions. However, Roberts, in a part of the opinion joined by Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan, ruled that the Department of Commerce needed to provide further explanation for adding the question. The court said that the Department of Commerce’s claim that the citizenship question was solely designed to help Voting Right Act enforcement seemed “contrived.”
