You guys crack me up!

You just cant stand the fact that your "free market, get government off our backs" ideology, while it may look great on paper to you and a handful of others (relatively speaking), has never been in the "people's" interest as a whole, but in the interest of the few.

dk...any government action that you dont like, you generally toss under the "unconstitutional" banner. That doesnt work for me.

We are not talking about dred scot here, or agricultural price supports or even the Patriot Act.

Back to the census.

Your interpretation of the unconstitutionality of the census beyond a simple "enumeration of people" is just that...one interpretation and a purely ideological one at that....and for the record, Madson, (the father of the Constitution?) disagreed with you by evidence of what he authorized by law for one of the nation's first censuses.

I honestly believe that this is what scares alot of people (not necessarily Libertarians, but many on the right):
Minorities, now roughly one-third of the U.S. population, are expected to become the majority in 2042, with the nation projected to be 54 percent minority in 2050.

US Census Press Releases
Pretending those minorities are not there, wont make that fact go away.
