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.

and he wouldn't be the first elected president that endorsed an unconstitutional law after he came in to office. it's what elected officials do, talk about supporting the constitution and then find ways around it when they can't accomplish what they want to.
