Yup. We’re not even debating the citizenship question yet.

There is a legal process for adding *any* Q to the US Census. That process takes ~5 years.
Changing a Census question, not reporting that proposed change to Congress, and possibly lying about *why* would = Big Trouble. https://t.co/Ipj68dPC4k
We made serious cracks in the citizenship question case, which seriously threatens the Census.

You know the questioning is good when the GOP tries to challenge you into stopping, are unsuccessful, and an army of lawyers starts freaking out.
Chair @RepCummings saved the day. https://t.co/1OPDbyusRI
Damn it. This is bad.

If Roberts thinks this is a constitutional dispute and not a case about administrative procedure, he's much more likely to vote with the other Republicans. https://t.co/hWLg9DPzoq
Wow, @AOC is the only one in the room (including Wilbur Ross and his lawyers) aware that 1) the proposed census citizenship question wording is substantively different from the previous version, and 2) such wording changes must be submitted to Congress https://t.co/AUtUItDUc4 https://t.co/wflov1XyHg

Wilbur Ross testifying before House today. He's already lied under oath about census citizenship question:

1. Said DOJ requested q when he did
2. Said didn’t discuss w/ Trump officials when Steve Bannon put him in touch with Kris Kobach to add questionhttps://t.co/L9HrfU9ANx
The latest turn of the Census citizenship question scandal, and more (literally) unbelievable testimony from Wilbur Ross: https://t.co/mUgVE2t9NJ

3/22/18 Ross to Congress: “The Department of Justice, as you know, initiated the request for inclusion of the citizenship question.”
7/3/18 Judge: “It now appears that the idea of adding the citizenship question originated with Secretary Ross, not the Department of Justice"
This is @AOC just thrashing Mark Meadows here by citing section and subsection of the law being violated by the Executive Branch. I get the feeling that Meadows isn’t enjoying this minority thing too much. https://t.co/CcO0OUBNM3

For the second time, the courts have ruled against @realDonaldTrump's attempt to undermine the #2020census.

The Trump citizenship question is unconstitutional.
Everyone deserves to be counted.https://t.co/EGZYngyeEc
Sad!
