Sotomayor health issue? Please tell us more.

[pfflier]

I guess they will have to take the blindfold off of the statue of Justice.

Sotomeyor is not an associate justice, she is an advocate.

[elbook]

you would think a supreme court judge would actually understand what the official census were originally for - to set voting districts for CITIZENS (the only ones who can legally vote).

Time for your retirement judge on grounds of mental feebleness

[Jim Noble]

And suppose they do have a “rational fear”.

What does that have to do with the Constitution, the law, or the carrying out of the Executive Branch’s responsibility?

[JimRed]

If they are illegal, they have a rational fear of being CAUGHT.

[I want the USA back]

Ask the question! And don’t ask about race/ethnicity!

[Gator113]

“rational fear”.....LOL, in my world we call it Felons Guilt.

[Williams]

Fear of being asked if you are a citizen. What wonderful people.

[NKP_Vet]

The citizenship question has been asked for 200 years. They should go back to having census takers coming to your residence and everyone in the household is listed on the census, with the head of the household verifying for them all. To hell with computer generated counting. It’s ripe for fraud.

Just straight out ask if the person answering the census form is an illegal alien!

Title 13 - CENSUS

SUBCHAPTER V—MISCELLANEOUS
§101. Defective, dependent, and delinquent classes; crime
(a) The Secretary may collect decennially statistics relating— (1) to the defective, dependent, and delinquent classes; and
(2) to crime, including judicial statistics pertaining thereto.
(b) The statistics authorized by subsection (a) of this section shall include information upon the following questions, namely: age, sex, color, nativity, parentage, literacy by race, color, nativity, and parentage, and such other questions relating to such subjects as the Secretary deems proper.
(c) In addition to the decennial collections authorized by subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the Secretary may compile and publish annually statistics relating to crime and to the defective, dependent, and delinquent classes.
(Aug. 31, 1954, ch. 1158, 68 Stat. 1018.)

The citizenship question has been included in the census for 200 years. It went to the long form in 1965 and was deleted by Rahm Emanuel in 2010.

The citizenship question has always been necessary to adjust for slaves and to exclude non-taxed Indians. Subsequent amendments to the Constitution made it even more compelling to include the citizenship question.

The key population of the census is known as the ‘Apportionment Population’. This is the population of Americans that are entitled to representation in Congress. Not all who breathe the air inside the borders of the United States are entitled to representation in Congress.

On Obama’s orders, Rahm Emanuel deleted the citizenship question from the 2010 Census for one reason only, to include the enormous number of illegals which are by and large concentrated in Democratically controlled urban areas to be counted as part of the Apportion Population, thus apportioning more congressional seats to Democrat strongholds.

What really sucks are the people RIGHT HERE who are willing to enable her because so and so Republican is a RINO, and therefore they sit it out.

[LongWayHome]

FDR rounded up Japanese citizens in the 1940s illegally using census data.

[kjam22]

Deciding the efficiency of the census based on the questions is not the court’s purpose. The efficiency is to be decided by the administrative state. The court is to rule on the legality of it. Who may or may not throw it away has nothing to do with the legality.

[central_va]

Bob the Republican party is in the pocket of globalist corpratists. Unless that changes the country is doomed.

Republican Party is not a good product.

[databoss]

Automatic recusal

[The Toll]

“Hispanics” is a made up thing you TARD!!!

[HamiltonJay]

She is a Type 1 diabetic

[Flaming Conservative]

That’s my take. Plus, perhaps she doesn’t recognize the existence of “illegals”, in general. Many liberals take that line. “There’s no such thing as an illegal person blah blah blah”)
