It is still an executive power grab.

I received a call from the census yesterday. I had to answer questions from their “long form”. Nothing terribly invasive, but I did find out that they are now going to do the census every FIVE years.

Strange, but I don’t think it was a scam.

If they can cheat their way into gerrymandering a permanent Democrat majority in the House, we are in deep doo-doo. The Census should be an actual count. Nothing else will satisfy the Constitution. Not that the Dems give a whit about the Constitution.

White Hut may “soften language.”

White Hut will not “change plan.”

Please forgive my ignorance, but I don’t completely understand the political power significance of a census. Could someone please briefly explain?

If the Obamoron’s lips are moving . . . . he’s lying.

Actions . . . . . . words!

This is only because the Commerce department is now in the hands of a loyal leftist.....and not Judd Gregg.

Democrats want a “fair and accurate” count.

How about just an accurate count?

If fairness comes into play we know exactly who will make the rules about what is fairness.
And like anything else named with the “fairness” moniker, it smokescreens actual intent.

0’s “softened language” simply means he thinks he has amnesty in the bag now and the census won’t have to be an underhanded count of ILLEGALS now.

Softening language is cheap.

What matters is what Obama plans to do with that Census. And that is not going to change.

I am not answering any more questions than I did on the 2000 census. Screw them.

Before the 2000 census the XXX-42 administration got a smackdown from the court (in a narrowly defined case) that they couldn't use statistical sampling to apportion the House seats among the states . Clinton and gang quickly pointed out that they hadn't been restricted from using sampling to layout House districts. Even if you have the Dems tied down 99%, that 1% will still cause trouble.

“Soften their language”?

In other words, they’re still politicizing it....they’re just doing it with a different tone.

We’re hosed folks.
