A lower court blocked Trump's memorandum last month, and the administration took its case directly to the Supreme Court.
last year found that it could result in House seats that would otherwise be assigned to California, Florida and Texas going instead to Alabama, Minnesota and Ohio — each of which is set to possibly lose a House seat in the next decade due to population shifts.
