You know, this morning I had the random thought flash through my brain that they would just put the question on the form anyway after saying they wouldn't. Prescience. I haz it.

I know. Part of me wants to stick my head in the sand, but we can't let this go unnoticed. Update.

Best guess as to what happened: The lawyers told him that they had to start printing. He grumbled and said go ahead. The news was released, by both Willlllburrrr and the DoJ. Some conservative commentator like Hannity saw that, went ballistic, and called Trump. Trump changed his mind. But, because he can never ever admit changing his mind, he has to call the news that Willlllburrrrr said it, and that the DoJ said it in writing, fake. | |||

That sounds about right. From a WaPo piece:

I worked the last Census, knocking on doors. It was a very interesting experience. Some immigrants here on Visas were very open, mostly educated, self assured...However, I had a disturbing experience, basically a wife at home. She spoke no English, didn't drive, was home with a young child...She locked herself in the house, and I feared for her safety should there be an emergency like a fire..(She had to go off and get the key to open the front door when I knocked!! ![]() On the flip side, I am revisiting my genealogy as I work to apply for dual citizenship. My grandmother was born in Ireland and came to the US as an infant. There is a Census whereby "Nationalized Citizen" was a classification..In my grandmother's case, it was marked as "YES" when she was about 7 years old. It also asked for the year of nationalization. We know that when my Grandmother died in 1965, she had a Green Card, that my Mom sent back as required. So that answer given by her mother most likely was incorrect.. They may have misunderstood that a Green Card qualified. So the question could be a mistake or even a lie. "Irish Need Not Apply" was common then in job listings...My Mom remembers her mother answering voting workers canvassing and my GM stating..'Oh, I voted this morning!".. So for me, I feel the question is not helpful at all...Folks will refuse to answer or lie if it helps to protect themselves and their families...As I would do in the same situation..just like my NanNan did. ![]()

That is par for Trump. I expected Trump to tweet against and over his staff on this issue and he did. I expected his staff to reverse themselves and go along and they mostly have. Now just waiting to see how many resign or get fired over this, and the tally will be inconsequential to how Trump operates.

If this gets through SCOTUS, we have all the proof we need that it's now a political body that simply does Trump's will. ![]() | |||

The judiciary is the only thing standing between us and chaos, it seems.

Interesting that the courts are no longer relevant. I thought they were relevant at one time. Perhaps I was wrong.

Paging Quirt! Since when is it necessary to do a substitution? All you have to do is add the extra lawyers, leaving the old lawyers as attorneys of record also. Then the new lawyers do whatever they want, never Having the old lawyers sign anything. What am I missing? | |||
