Trump on track for Supreme Court Victory on Census Citizenship Question

[CagleMtnVol]

Well sounds like AOC is wanting to get rid of citizenship all together.

The right to bear arms shall not be infringed is also in the Constituion. It's so important that it was the 2nd Amendment to it but lefties don't care.

Lefties want to take your guns away so they can be in total control of unarmed citizens, it's that simple!

 

[Velo Vol]

Well.

 

[evillawyer]

Well.

Good

How would you go about putting that into effect? Do you think tens of millions of gun owners are going to step forward to buy the licenses for the guns they already own?

A background check is a license and a Government list all in one.

Let me know where the word citizen is.

"Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."

My statement stands. Don't try to act like you all socialists now care about the Constitution

There's still no way for them to prove an individual owns any guns. I could have privately sold all my guns for all the government knows.

And don't try to act like the GOP (gerrymandering our power) cares about democracy.

At least we read what it says.

What's the point of having a census if you don't know who your citizens are?

 

[lawgator1]

I am confused. Trump tweets that he is telling Commerce and DOJ to continue to try to put it on, but Commerce says the same day that they are printing without it.

Going out on a limb, but I'll go with "because it's not a count of citizens."

 

[evillawyer]

What's the point of having a census if you don't know who your citizens are?

Well, primarily to know how many people you have in your country and where they live so you can properly determine how many representatives a state gets. The US is better able to determine who it's citizens are by reviewing its own records (birth records, social security data, etc.) than by conducting a census.

It's not you, it's Dotard Donny.

Based on the opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, it sounds like Trump could have had his critically important (in his mind) citizenship question on the Census, if it hadn't been for the contrived and dishonest justification for the question, by Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross. Ross was caught in a blatant lie. A senior adviser to Ross, James Uthmeier, confirmed that both Ross and his policy chief Earl Comstock, asked him to look into the legal arguments for a citizenship question on the Census in early 2017. That confirmation from Uthmeier directly contradicted a prior claim from Ross that he only chose to add the citizenship question after the Justice Department requested it to enforce the Voting Rights Act. Uthmeier complied with Ross's request and drafted a memo to John Gore in the Justice Department where he explained that enforcement of the Voting Rights Act could be effectively used as legal justification for a citizenship question on the 2020 Census, which the Trump administration desired. Only after receiving this memo from Uthmeier, did Gore then recommend the addition of the citizenship question to the Census.

So, basically... Wilbur Ross lied when he claimed that the Justice Department had recommended the citizenship question first. The Justice Department (John Gore, to be exact), recommended the question only after they had been prompted by Ross's senior adviser - James Uthmeier, in a memo.

If you want someone to blame here... you might look at the dishonesty and incompetence of Trump's own Secretary of Commerce. Wilbur Ross totally botched this for Trump. Instead, you are blaming Democrats. How about some accountability for mistakes? Ross blew it.
