The Supreme Court On June 27 — with Flopping Fish John Roberts joining the mostly geriatric liberals — ruled that, by law, the Commerce Department can place any questions it wants on its decennial Census forms, but then proceeded to remand the case of the supposedly controversial \u201ccitizenship\u201d question back to the lower court, on grounds that Roberts et al.<\/em> found the Trump administration\u2019s “Voting Rights Act” justification for including the question \u201ccontrived.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here we go with the \u201cthought crimes\u201d again. As in \u201cOf course it\u2019s perfectly legal for any president to block foreigners from coming here from any and all countries he deems to be aswarm with uncontrolled terrorists . . . but not if it\u2019s President TRUMP, and not if he once on the campaign trail said something disparaging about, you know, . . . \u2018Radical Mooslim terrorists!\u2019\u201d Kind of like \u201cOf course you can declare war on any country that just sank our Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor in a surprise attack . . . but not if Franklin Roosevelt was once heard calling them \u201csneaky yellow bastards”!<\/p>\n

Obviously, if Wilbur Ross and his Commerce Department have the right -\u2013 under both the Constitution and the Census Act -\u2013 to place any questions they like on the forms, the idea that the court has to approve (or is even allowed to inquire into) the REASONS for those questions is absurd on it face: Commerce is free to say either \u201cNo reason\u201d or \u201cBecause Goofy is taller than Mickey Mouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with nearly everyone else in Washington save the Very Stable Genius Donald Trump, the court has clearly been sipping the Silly Sauce.<\/p>\n

Kris Kobach of \u201cWe Build the Wall\u201d points out the citizenship question was on nearly every Census up until the 1950s, when it was dropped after assurances all resident aliens would be made to register and report any address changes so they could be kept track of THAT way -\u2013 yet another immigration-related federal promise which was never kept, as that requirement is rarely enforced. (See https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/06\/27\/kobach-why-the-citizenship-question-is-so-important\/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+breitbart+%28Breitbart+News%29<\/a> .)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(By the way, all the Democrats who hope to be chosen to lose to Donald Trump next year assert they\u2019re in favor of open borders and non-enforcement of our Immigration laws. Yet most of these clowns serve in Congress. So why hasn\u2019t a single one of them introduced legislation to REPEAL all our immigration laws? Isn\u2019t that what they\u2019re supposed to do if they think existing laws are no longer needed \u2013- draft \u201crepeal\u201d legislation in black-and-white which can then be publicly debated?)<\/p>\n

This is all doubly absurd because no one in living memory has been jailed or punished in any way for throwing away a Census form without answering it, or for returning it, filled out with obvious lies.<\/p>\n

Mind you, I\u2019m not necessarily recommending you report you\u2019re sheltering in your basement a 17-member Bulgarian midget gymnastics team, all of them illegal aliens, though the FedGov obviously has no interest in bringing a case if you merely state \u201cThree people live at this address and I\u2019m not going to answer any of your other insulting questions, none of which are authorized by the Constitution, which authorizes counting residents for purposes of apportioning congressional districts, and nothing else. I am CERTAINLY not going to tell you whether we have a flush toilet.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though if the goal now is to make sure no court can accuse Commerce of generating a \u201ccontrived and disingenuous\u201d rationale for asking for a count of citizens vs. non-citizens, why not merely declare \u201cSo we can figure out how many goddamned illegal aliens we\u2019re got to round up and deport in the next 16 months, to make sure blue-state Democrats don\u2019t continue to let them vote, which is AGAINST FEDERAL LAW\u201d? Would Justice Roberts then continue to argue “I don’t believe it; they’re just making that up to sound nice”?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“WHAT’S WRONG? WHY ISN’T HE CAVING IN LIKE ALL THE OTHERS?’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Word is the Red Chinese are shocked -\u2013 shocked -\u2013 that Donald Trump is apparently unprepared to offer them any new trade \u201cconcessions\u201d in Tokyo this weekend (so they can keep stealing our intellectual property and arranging forced technology transfers), in exchange for their magnanimously agreeing to buy from us some pork and soybeans without which they\u2019re about to starve. (Xi, thanks, Gee!)<\/p>\n

President Trump held off our next round of tariffs for four months, negotiating with them in good faith based on the promises they made in Buenos Aires in early December, and then in early May they came back and said, \u201cYou know all that stuff we already agreed to over all those tough bargaining sessions? Forget about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

And now they think he\u2019s going to \u201ccave\u201d and agree to let Huawei build \u201cback doors\u201d into the 5G communication networks of every American and European Defense contractor . . . and the Pentagon, as well? \u201cJust to be nice\u201d? To sell some soybeans?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me get the straight: The Chinese Communists, with all their resources, still haven’t compiled and translated a basic biography of Donald Trump? He knew the Post Foundation considered the Mar-A Lago estate in South Florida a white elephant that they couldn’t afford to properly maintain, at the cost of several million greenbacks per year. (The U.S. government turned it down as a tax-funded \u201cWinter White House\u201d; even the Smithsonian turned it down.) So when Marjorie Merriweather Post’s descendants put the property on the market at $25 million, Trump offered . . . 15.<\/p>\n

They snorted at this upstart. The nerve! And he was even proposing to let Jews and blacks play golf there! (Play back that part where they claim Trump, a former New York Democrat whose grandchildren are Jewish, is a \u201cracist,\u201d will you?)<\/p>\n

But when they couldn’t find anyone else to meet even THAT price, they grudgingly went back to Trump . . . who proceeded to tell them “You had a chance at 15 but you turned it down. My offer is now $12 million.”<\/p>\n

Outraged at such tactics, the Posts turned him down AGAIN, . . . and paid the price again, eventually selling to Trump for . . . $8 million.<\/p>\n

Note he never \u201csweetened the deal\u201d: In each case, declining to promptly take his offer COST THE OTHER SIDE something.<\/p>\n

(And the Democrats think Donald Trump will now hand them the \u201cbig Wetback amnesty\u201d deal they turned down in 2017? In exchange for . . . nothing but continuing to call him names?)<\/p>\n

Trump held off the China tariffs for months last winter because Xi PERSONALLY stood up at the table at Buenos Aires and outlined the deal he was willing to make. Lighthizer and Mnuchin and Navarro were all very impressed that Xi made those promises PERSONALLY.<\/p>\n

So who’s Xi going to blame, now? “Bad translator”?<\/p>\n

I suspect (and hope) they’d seen all the “concessions” they were going to see, as of May 4. Witness Justin Sparkle-Sox and Christia Freeland insisting “Trump would never make a bilateral deal with Mexico without US! We’ll NEVER have to drop our 270 percent dairy tariffs! He\u2019s just BLUFFING!” <\/p>\n
