Trump Considers Executive Order On Citizenship Question
Axios ^ | July 4

Posted on 07/04/2019 7:38:31 AM PDT by Helicondelta

President Trump is considering an executive order to try to move forward with a citizenship question on the 2020 census, top sources tell Jonathan Swan and me.

"We didn’t come this far just to throw in the towel," said a senior administration official with direct knowledge of the conversations.

Former federal judge J. Michael Luttig, who has longtime ties to officials in the administration, told Axios:

"If the president of the United States were to issue an executive order, supported by his full Article II powers, directing that the citizenship question be included in the 2020 census, I believe the Supreme Court would affirm the constitutional power of the president to include the citizenship question in the census.”

The first judge to try to stop it should be told to assemble his army and try to enforce his order.

Can he issue an Executive Order to impeach that traitor Roberts?

He can’t?

Too bad!

Citizens, however, can refuse to comply if the question isn’t on the form.

They can refuse to answer it if the question is on the form, too.

If the question is on there, the refusal counts.

I think Connecticut might flip in 2020. The tolls are getting people mad, so I think you might see the state go Trump and maybe the state Senate and House will be R flip, too.

Its actually better if Republicans in blue states refuse to be counted.

Assuming the census bureau would not make up a number to estimate the number of people who were not counted.

It can’t hurt to try, pull the trigger. The article makes an excellent point about letting Chief Justice Roberts bear the brunt of this...clearly Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch & Cavanaugh will have no problem with it.

How are we to know someone doesn’t fill in the questions if they are left blank and mailed in?

The illegals will hide out in "It's a Small, Small World". That's Jeb's favorite ride.

“How many illegal aliens are in this country? I’ve heard the number 11 million reported for many years.”

I think it was on Judge Jeanine’s show that a border agent said 20+ million. Even when 11 million was being reported, it was more at that time.

“we should bounce every sitting federal legislator from office and start over.”

Allegedly, Flight 93’s destination on 9/11 was the Capitol. I’ve often thought about what would’ve happened if it had been successful. All new legislators.

They cannot ignore the judges.

I’m pretty sure there have been Presidents who did, but I can’t elaborate. Didn’t the Kenyan Fraud do so?

I live in The Peoples Republic of Connecticut that just keeps getting bluer. I think I’ll take Rush’s advice.

I live in the People’s Republic of Maryland where although 17 of 23 counties voted for Trump in 2016, the six other counties with most of the population won the State for Hitlery. No Census forms will be completed at my address.

Anyone else tired of Trump threatening to do something instead of doing it?
........................................
Yes, and the more he does it the more he comes across to many as just another bullshit artist. It’s the very things he vacillates over that must be done to “Keep America Great”!
