Bullshit Trump Says

Trump is trying to delay the Census, one of the most basic tasks outlined in the Constitution.

Just a precursor to him delaying the recognition of 2020 election results for SCOTUS review if he doesn’t get the result he wants
 
Problem is that the Constitution doesn’t leave any wiggle room on timing:

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.

The way that reads seems to indicate that you can conduct the Census more often than every ten years, but you must conduct it within ten years of the last Census. The last Census was 2010, so 2020 is it, Constitutionally speaking.
 
like trump and his idiot supporters give a flying fuck about the constitution
 
the way lawyers write is so stupid too. it should say something like “starting in 1790 people are counted every 10 years.”

all those words to try to appear smarter than everyone else.

For sure. But even Junebug can't find a way to finagle the wording to indicate Trump could delay the Census.
 
What's to stop Trump from sending out the Census with the citizenship question? Who would enforce the ruling?

Yep. What would stop Trump from falsifying the Census data? Republicans can use fake data and gerrymandering to gain House seats and dominate state houses. All they’d have to do is fudge a little here and there. No one would question it.

Good post. Super dry delivery. I’m sure a lubricated donkey once suggested, somewhere sometime, that the census could be delayed and Junebug will find the quote.

I think you're referring to the Lubricated Donkey Rule.

At this point, just cut everything out of the Constitution that isn't the 2nd amendment and be done with it.

How cool would it be for the military to have to drag Trump's ass out of the WH when Trump refuses to acknowledge he lost?
