I don't believe that just because my political opponents want to redefine the Constitution to serve their own purposes without actually amending it that our side should do the same thing when it serves our purposes. Down that road lies a constant and escalating tit-for-tat abrogation of rights which would lead to a hell that I don't even want to consider.
Ron likes to hint that the Right should start abandoning core principles in order to better fight the Left using the same dirty tricks the Left uses. That's the kind of strategy that loses the war no matter how many battles it helps you win.
1. Because that is not what the Constitution says.
2. Not explicitly, no. It was billed as an informational question like ones about the gender of the occupants. I believe Republicans who support this are hoping for a reduction in illegal immigrant participation in the census and that Democrats are afraid of it, but no, that isn't the purpose.
You haven’t laid out any path for preserving the integrity of our electoral system.
You let the left set the rules of the game then lose on principle.
That’s how the country was lost.
The court very clearly said there is nothing unconstitutional about the question, they just didn’t like the Administrations reason for including it on the census.
Letting the Supreme Court rule as petty tyrants is not constitutional government.
What’s one of the primary purposes of the census? So we can accurately map out congressional representatives districts. Representatives represent their constituents, the legal voters.
How does the Supreme Court hindering the intent of the census law not trigger your constitutional crises concern?
Republicans are natural born losers who never fail to show their belly when the left cracks the whip.
Always looking for a way to be losers.
