So the citizenship question on the census form really wasn't necessary was it?

The founders used the citizen 28 times in the constitution, so they what the word was, but in the explicit duties of the census, they used the word PEOPLE.
And I agree with many rightwingers, the founders were far smarter than trump, silly congressional republicans, hannutty, limblah and most trump supporters

You took some thoughts right out of my head.
But America is watching and taking notes. Trump is a genius! He just drives down the alley and avoids the roadblock and keeps on trucking! He knows a lot of those illegals will be gone by 2020. I can hear it now from coast to coast "La Migra" (Border Patrol run, scatter, hide). Jose tells Hector, you big dummy you're supposed to be quiet and not open the door, why did you jump out the window and run essay? Because that how my dad, uncles and I always did it. It's a habit. How did you get caught? Hector says I was out of beer, I thought I could make it to the ice house for more.

Citizenship question on census is important. The Supreme Court ruling was nonsense. I don't always agree with the SCOUTS but I usually feel both sides have a point. In this case the ruling was nonsense.
I'm afraid Pres. Trump's alternative won't serve the same purpose. The census question was vital to our country.
If the SCOTUS doesn't stop these foolish, mean spirited and partisan rulings by District Courts our 3rd branch of government may very well destroy our form of government, aiding and abetting socialists, modern Democrats, and our seriously corrupted media.

After all of the silly ranting and hyperbolic rhetoric from the usual rightwingnuts, trump declared that the citizenship question really wasn't necessary after all, and that 90% on the information on PEOPLE in the country is already available.
So if that is true, then all of the usual rightwing blather about "millions and millions" of illegals living in the country can easily be proven or disproved.
A very good chance that trump and barr will look like fools

Trump wanted to stir up the dementiacrats, and it worked

Seems that the most upset and unhinged, whining and crying and hand-wringing is coming from the usual rightwingnut in congress and rightwingnut media, and ergo the same rightwingnuts on social media, including OPP.

So you never read the constitution I see. It states that it's necessary to count the CITIZENS of the United States every 10 years. The word CITIZENS is used 8 times. Check it out boy.

This is not 1787; circumstances have changed a bit.

It says the census shall be taken every ten years in such a manner as the Congress shall direct.

I just checked my copy of the Constitution and he is in fact correct. The word citizen or citizens is used more than he has said. I would suggest that you take prior advice and get a copy of the US Constitution and READ it. You might learn something.

The Constitution hasn't changed except as it has been duly amended. You are not entitled to make your own amendments to it.

The word CITIZEN is indeed in the constitution, but the debate is whether the constitution specifies that ONLY CITIZENS are to be counted.
Here is the clause in the 14th amendment that designates who is to be counted.
Q: What does the Constitution say about the census?
A: The 14th Amendment, which reworked the original constitutional words on the census, says, “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State.”
