The citizenship question will not be on the 2020 census, President Trump said Thursday, in Rose Garden remarks where he appeared downcast and aggrieved.

Would someone please put a hex on Bill Barr and make him vanish from the face of the earth, along with his miserable MF boss?
Sounds like a Constitutional cluster-f*ck in the making. Looks like another attorneys full-employment act. Fasten your seat-belts.
We also know that here in TX they really dont know who is a citizen and who is not.
I would question the validity of any numbers the Government may have.
I just despise these people. Lower than pond scum, and that’s insulting to real pond scum.
All the lawyers that denied this was their objective before federal courts should be censured or disbarred for unethical conduct.
And rest assured, the Trump regime will fuck this up like every other project or initiative they undertake.
If I was more objective I could see this for the pathetic farce it is.
Here’s the problem. Kirkland & Ellis has an endless supply of lawyers to serve the needs of the plutocrat class in their efforts to capture and keep the government, as well as dismantle those institutions, including the rule of law, which seem to be such a waste of time for them. Until the plutocracy goes back in its hole, they’ll always have K&E on speed-dial.
The good news may be that by the time this asinine order gets resolved in the courts, Trump’s term will be over and he will be cosigned to the hot dust bin of history.
And Bill Barr will accompany Trump to the gates of Hell.
Trump makes me physically ill. This is disgusting…
I’m confused. I’m watching The Beat and they’re talking about Trump caving. I come here and it’s not a cave they’re still going forward.
I’ve been on a mini-vacation and haven’t been able to spend much time on political news. I’m very lost
Every agency’s lawyers just collectively laughed their asses off about the order.
This too will be litigated.
It’s a cave. They’re not adding it to the census.
They’re ordering every government agency to give Commerce whatever it asks for to build a big database of who’s who and where and who’s a citizen or not.
Good luck getting this one through the courts. Every citizen has standing in this case the moment they request to vacuum up records from an agency that the person has interacted with…
Trump got Barr out there to throw his weight around. This will be tied up in the courts until it disappears along with Trump.
“There’s nothing wrong at the base, we just gotta keep trying!”
Because like all narcissists Trump and his boys cannot imagine having to try a different approach
Remember, any statement made by Trump on Thursday might be diametrically opposed to actions that he takes on Friday.
Sorry, but while we’ve all heard about the thankfully now obsolete 3/5’s counting of “all other persons”, I’ve never heard of the 0/5’s version, until now. Where exactly in the constitution does it say that only citizens get representation (and if so why don’t any of DC’s citizens get any?).
This too is going to court and will hopefully get struck down as well. They just won’t give up, will they? Whether it’s a cynical play to extend GOP dominance past its sell-by date or grounded in actual ideological racial elitism, this just can’t be allowed to pass muster.
