“Requiring the census director to report directly to the White House and placing responsibility for administration of the Bureau outside the Department of Commerce may even violate federal law,” they wrote.

“According to Title 13 of the U.S. Code, the Bureau is to be administered ‘within, and under the jurisdiction of, the Department of Commerce.’ ” [...] “The constitutionally mandated decennial census needs to be fair, accurate and trusted. By circumventing the secretary of Commerce’s oversight of the Census Bureau and handing it directly to a political operative such as Mr. Emanuel, you are severely jeopardizing the fairness and accuracy of the 2010 census,” Issa and McHenry wrote.

And keep A C O R N as far away as possible from being the “sampling takers” on the Census.

What is left of the GOP better fight on the Census issue as if their existence depends on it, because it does. Can you imagine Rahm Emanuel overseeing a statistical sampling type of Census! This is a naked attempt to freeze out conservatives from national politics permanently.

Acorn is slated to administer the "census".

It is indeed a simplified census data form with two questions:

1) Who did you vote for as president of the Inited States in November of 2008?

2) How many firearms , if any , do you have in your household?

Refuse to answer, and Acorn will look around your home, and write in the answer for themselves.

Makes you wonder if the GOP got Gregg to drop out and not his new boss.

This is a Constitutional issue. The Constitution specifies that the Commerce Dept. is in charge of the Census. The Republicans should take it to the Supreme Court.

Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this?
