The question of whether to allow a contested question about citizenship on the 2020 census is before the Supreme Court. How they decide may be altered by new and formerly secret files that show a long-standing relationship between the Republican Party and gerrymandering -- that includes an idea to add a citizenship question to the census to boost the voting power of "Republicans and non-Hispanic whites." 

Also this hour: This weekend, over 100 artists staged a 24-hour public reading of the Mueller report in Queens. They're helping us do exactly what Robert Mueller implored us all to do. Read it in its entirety. Here's the story.  Here's the full report. Here's the audiobook.

Lastly, is America still capable of doing large-scale politically-honorable deeds, such as impeaching a president?

The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.
