#1 These "judges" are laughably biased.

Mind you the census should just ask your name, id and previous addresses and dates.

#2 Had the Trump administration had blocked voting by dogs and cats a federal judge would have claimed a 'violation of public trust' as well.

We have obviously arrived at the theater of the absurd.

#4 Amazing the expanse of power the aristocracy judiciary claims. The Constitution calls for a census for enumeration of the House of Representatives. That's it.

#5 I'd tell the judge to go to hell and continue anyway.

#7 The Constitution calls for a census for enumeration of the House of Representatives.

But they only represent citizens, so differentiating between citizens and non-citizens when counting is critical information.

#10 What about all the intrusive questions I recall from the last census that I was told to answer On pain of law and perjury charges such as my income, did I own my domicile, etc. etc. What abut those extras that got added in a Big Brother™ fashion to the census?

#12 It looks like the last decade Census asked for citizenship? Wow, the MSM/Democrats lied, or just did really shoddy investigations??

#13 The Dems simply want to obstruct and delay. They shouldn't teach pubs these tricks.

If memory serves, you can refuse to answer most/all of the questions on the decadal census. However, there is something called the American Community Survey. It looks and smells like the Census, but is on-going and much more detailed. And has legal penalties associated with your response.

#15 I answered the required info and blew off the "how many miles do you commute to your feeble employment in your carbon-spewing death trap of pollution you racist bastard" questions. No reaction back
