Rep. Sherman (D- CA) Struggles To Justify Lawsuit Over U.S. Census Question

Daily Caller: Fox News’ Chris Wallace refused to let Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman weasel his way out of answering a key question about a lawsuit against a U.S. Census question on Sunday.

California is suing the Trump administration over the decision to add a question on citizenship to the U.S. Census. Wallace grilled Rep. Sherman, who represents California’s 30th district, over his assertion that the federal government is violating the Constitution by asking such a question.

“Isn’t California violating the Constitution by interfering with the federal government, which has supremacy when it comes to matters of immigration?” Wallace asked.

Sherman replied with the non-sequitur, “Chris, we need comprehensive immigration reform and until we get it we’ll be pulling our society apart.”

“Sir, sir, you’re not answering my question,” Wallace protested.  MORE HERE

  1. Sherman is irrelevantly correct about the unconstitutionality of the feddle govt requiring state govt to spend its resources in support of fed law. See Mack v. United States (later Printz v. United States).

    But that’s irrelevant because the Census Bureau is a fed thing, and census takers are paid with fed money. Sherman is blowing smoke up his own ass.

  2. every census since 1890 has had this question in it …. O’Barky had it taken out … it’s not adding it IN … it’s adding it BACK!!!

    ‘course the 1880 census asked your place of birth & if you were an idoit or insane … therefore democRats could be counted

  3. Mr Peabody is his real name. He escaped from saturday morning cartoons years ago and is therefore a refuge himself. Don’t believe anything he says.
