That's kind of a silly question. The Constitution is clearly just a celebratory inconvenience nowadays. But for those of you who are government educated, we are going to refer to the Constitution for a moment .. so pay extra attention. You might learn something.
The census is written into the Constitution. In Article I, Section 2 the US Constitution orders that "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
Now, a question. Which branch of government is outlined in Article I of the Constitution? Any takes? If you guessed the Legislative branch, then give yourself a pat on the back.
Now, the next question .. if the census is set forth in Article I of the Constitution and not Article II (that would be the Executive branch) .. how did it end up under the Commerce Department in the first place? And how can the Obama White House now claim control? Is this White House power-grab as legal?
the obama administration is going to screw the nation up the arse
every way it can, starting with this move! They are going to make
cheney and bush look like alter boys.
