With all of Washington and most of the media mesmerized by debate on the porkulus bill, little attention has been paid to what appears to be an unconstitutional power grab by President Obama.
The Obama administration reportedly wants the U.S. Census to be run directly out of the White House, as opposed to by a politically insulated official within the Department of Commerce.
This would apparently be unprecedented and unlawful because federal law provides that the Census must be administered by the Commerce Department.
Former Census director Bruce Chapman warns that no good could come of it. At his blog he writes:
Everyone knows that it is possible to organize a Decennial Census in a way that benefits one party or another politically. One way to effectuate this otherwise unpalatable departure from the Census Bureau’s two hundred year history of non-partisanship is to put the Bureau administratively under direction of the politicos in the White House. In reality that would be a sure invitation to cook the books on the highly consequential count of Americans. +++++++++++++++++++++ Snip

Total WTF /wrist moment. Whats next? I don't even want to contemplate it.
They don’t need laws. They believe they are the law.
Little tutu boy Rahm is in charge of that little scam and if they think I am filling it out or giving them any into they are NUTS.

Yep and zer0 is wearing out that executive order pen of his. If that stimulus passes, it will change America forever.

Advocates argue that putting the 2010 Census under direct White House control somehow assures a higher priority to its mission. This is cynical. It puts a priority on manipulation of carefully derived Census criteria. The only reason the White House would want to be involved is in figuring out how to add more voting power to certain states and groups within states.

Simply put, there is no excuse for this idea. it is not true that the Census Bureau has ever been under the direct management of the White House, and for good reason. Even if angels were in charge of the Executive Mansion, if the nation’s premier statistical agency were placed under White House direction the danger to public trust would be enormous. The Decennial count is one of the few federal functions specifically described in the Constitution itself and must be operate above suspicion of politics.
I was Director of the Census from 1981 to ‘83 in the Reagan Administration. I always was made to feel conscious of the sound public servants who had preceded me and, regardless of who appointed them, defended the decennial count. . I have known directors from the Kennedy era (the estimable Richard Scaammon) to the G. W. Bush Administration (the very professional Louis Kincannon). I don’t know anyone who cares for the integrity of the Bureau and its products who would desire to see the Census Bureau report directly to the White House.
Power flows from an accurate Census Count. Everyone involved for years has seen the count therefore a sacred trust. It must not be polluted with even a semblance of Presidential meddling.”

He tries to do this and he gets IMPEACHED.
Time for a lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court. It’s time we stand up to this daily assault on our Constitutional Rights. Think we’ll need a full time lawyer throughout obama’s term.
Nothing even surprises me anymore. Every move he has made since even before he was elected has been a power grab.
Time to IMPEACH!
The key factor, and Clinton put it best...is that most Democrats want a “sampling” taken and then base statistics off of this...meaning you visit three areas of a town of 15,000 actual real people....and eyeball 900 folks instead of the 15,000 total. Then you add up the numbers and pronounce that the town has 15,350 (not the actual real number of 15,350). It also helps if one of the neighborhoods that you did catch....was Latino or Black or minority status.
The Constitution requires a full Census...and some suspect that by using this direct method of President to Census chief deal...a presidential order could be given to sample rather than count actual real people. The presidential order? Illegal, no doubt.
Whats curious here is that the numbers really won’t be coming in until the beginning of 2011, and stamped offical by the middle of 2011. If wrong...this entire episode by itself, will be the one and only topic for the 2012 presidential race. The Republicans will talk about various things, but keep this in the press for the entire summer.
If Obama had to do something extremely stupid and get lots of bad press in an election year....this is it. He will come to regret this one act...so early in his administration. This would actually be enough to bring down the idol image that he maintains.
If I were you guys....I’d just let this simmer, and let this guy do the damage necessary. He’s never managed anything in his life, and this will be the crown jewel to establish that fact.
Of course it is. Obama will skew the census if he gets the chance.
Thank God congressional districts are left up to the states or Obama would demand the White House draw congressional lines.
Hey folks, let nothing surprise you.
These Communists are going to do everything they can to
consolidate their power and eliminate all opposition.
We are their enemy.
>>He tries to do this and he gets IMPEACHED.<<
And WHO is going to impeach him?
>>And WHO is going to impeach him?<<
I’m serious. How could that happen? The Rats control all the ways and means to block any effort. Not enough RINO’s to even make a dent.
later
He is unimpeachable.
Uh. The Rats control everything. He can’t be impeached. Not enough votes.
>>Thank God congressional districts are left up to the states or Obama would demand the White House draw congressional lines.<<
We’ll see this challenged..sooner rather than later. Hussein is going to make the Clintons look like little children.
Why stop at this? With control of the process you can create millions of fictitious citizens, even register them to vote. I mean there are only so many names in the graveyard...
You got that right...I’ll start the door to door campaign myself...
I think even Democrats will fear this one.
It would mean that the White House would control THEM and their seats if they allow it.
Maybe they are hoping Porculus will keep the press distracted long enough to get this new Obamanation done? Slip it in while no one is paying attention?
No doubt...it just all is swirling in the toilet and soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people don’t want to either know, or don’t care, or have ZERO idea that everything our country stands for and on is being jackhammered away by this administration and being done with a huge smile and huge middle finger being shown to anyone who dare disagree with their tactics and/or policy.
I truly fear for our nation, there is a clear and present danger to our voting system’s legitimacy, even more than I ever imagined it could be.
Absoultey...backdoor politics, would you expect ANYTHING less from these “leaders”?
I do too, I really really do.
>>I think even Democrats will fear this one.

You are right, but...
They are being used and that’s why the Communists call them “Useful Idiots” or “Dupes”.
By the time they wake up, it is too late and they are “eliminated”.
The “followers” are in for a surprise.
You are right on target.
They’re Marxofascists.
That’s what they do.

Good point. You can’t fix stupid.
>>Nothing even surprises me anymore. Every move he has made since even before he was elected has been a power grab.<<
You win the prize. Exactly right. They know exactly what they are doing. Any little “setback” to their agenda means nothing. They are ruthless and intend to win.
>>You got that right...I’ll start the door to door campaign myself...<<
I’d join you but it would be tough changing mush minds.
Ayep.
Great link!
Better to try and fail and than to do nothing and regret...
Hopefully the day will not come, but with the speed and force this president seems to push, who knows...
>Better to try and fail and than to do nothing and regret...<
That’s why I said I would try but it would be hard to do.

The census power grab has been going on for years. My Constitution says the purpose of the census is for determining the number of representatives each state will send to Congress. That means 99.99% of the questions the census asks people now are BS. Race, income, number of crappers, whatever.
US citizens don’t have standing.
We need to get a Kenyan to file the suit.
It’s pretty clear their aim is to overcount Blacks, Latinos and other pro-Dim minorities (including illegals), and undercount patriotic, pro-Republican American Whites. This is part of the Dims plan to turn this Nation over to the Minorities. America will become an atheistic, Communist Islamic Republic ruled by the minorities.
I can’t WAIT to see Rahm go down smoking and crispy.
It’s gonna happen, thats a given.
Probably sooner than later.
I wonder if the lttle clown boy even realizes it.
!
This is illegal.. but who is going to challenge it?
Zero himself is being used. He’s NOT smart enough to come up with half of this stuff himself. We’re fighting forces far bigger than he...
Maybe someone should start a Congessional White Caucus. Or maybe a NAAWP.
Everyone needs to learn that discrimination is a two way street.
I’ve emailed my congressman many times asking that all questions pertaining to race be removed from all government documents. Still waiting for an answer... (crickets chirping).
This a kind of libtard coup managed with the crisis!
And a coup must be stopped by all means available...
Peacefully...if possible BUT “all the options are on the table”
This coup ,kind of “soft” untold revolution by fraud,could have worldwide consequences strengthening the power of liberal-fascism and islamo-fascism in the world...
It’s about time for fighting
