      Completely unforced error. Court confirmed that Trump had the power to do this, if the Administration had handled it competently.https://twitter.com/hughhewitt/status/1146210053633916928 …

      You mean not invent a risible pretext when the real reason was to favor the GOP and non Hispanic whites as the late consultant put it? (Um, not really to help enforce the VRA? Shocking.) So in other words, come up with a more plausible, but still false pretext.

      The text of the 14th Amendment explicitly empowers the federal government to know how many citizens are in each state.

      But when you lie about the reasoning, they really gave Roberts no choice.

          Competence meaning: we want to do this for exactly the reason the consultant said. But we didn’t lie effectively enough. Heartbreaking.

          So here’s the thing: everybody knows Commerce and DOJ were lying that their intent was to help enforce the VRA. Stip that, right? So: is your argument that pretext is not relevant here? Or are you really claiming there was no pretext?

          It’s a bald face liar issue. Lying has nothing to do with competence. It has to do with ethics and morality which are qualities you republican types used to give lip service to but have never really cared about unless you had a Democrat to skewer.

          Also, to Dan's point, the 14th amendment doesn't say anything about counting citizens specifically, unless he's referencing the part where it says the opposite of that: where it specifies that "whole person's" shall be counted for the sake of representation....
