Supremes to Consider Cases Involving Noncitizens in the Political Process

Margaret Stock thoughtfully analyzes two cases (Bluman v. Federal Election Commission and Louisiana v. Bryson) currently before the U.S. Supreme Court that involve noncitizens and the political process.  Bluman involves the constitutionality of a ban on political controbutions by noncitizens who are not lawful permanent residents but are lawfully in the United States.  Bryson involves the counting of noncitizens by the Census, which affects the allocation of seats to the states in Congress.
