in naacp versus alabama, we held the naacp had standing, even though it was their members who would be injured by other people, an illegality, harassment, but as chief justice roberts said, it's predictable. there's no doubt that people will respond less because of the census. that has been proven in study after study. one census surveyor described an incident where he walked into a home, started asking citizenship, and the person stopped and left his home, leaving the census surveyor sitting there. so, if you're talking about prediction, this is about 100 percent that people will answer less. but i don't know that it's prediction. it is an action by the government that will be a cause of this, not proximate necessarily, but that cause will cause harm. general francisco: right, two responses, your honor. first, we're not talking about proximate cause. we're talking about an analysis that was similar to what this court used in the clapper case, where the clappers said that even though there was injury in fact, even though the government's actions were in a very real sense a but-for caus

the reason i say that is that by 1930, the naacp shifts its focus from human rights to civil rights, and part of that shift was, in some ways, an attack on black education, and looking at the dual systems saying these black institutions are not properly funded, which means they are not properly prepared to train african-americans, which means they are getting a second-class education, which means it violates plessy v ferguson. on one hand everything they are saying is true but on the other hand it's attacking these black institutions. so what he was arguing, in many ways, without overtly arguing, that if these black institutions go away, the number of african-americans that had the opportunity to receive higher education, to go on to become black professionals, would decrease. so i think in the 21st century, if shepard were here today, i think he would make the same argument in the 21st century, and possibly use some of the similar tactics that he used in 1920's and 1930's. we see that during the great depression, post-great depression, the funding for his institution actually increa
