Too many immigrants have been spooked into the shadows. And sinister hints about future threats were dropped by henchman Barr.https://t.co/prDl6ZF7xZ
I learned a lot about this subject from @Dan_F_Jacobson, who represented the plaintiffs in the census case, who explained to me how the citizenship question could gain electoral votes and seats for the GOP.

Defying the Supreme Court’s directive would open a seal that no one should want to see broken. It betrays the admin’s belief that it cannot satisfy the Court’s requests and threatens the legitimacy of the census. More importantly, it would be a legitimate constitutional crisis. https://t.co/3HdgNWMhk7

The Supreme Court could have and should have taken a far stronger posture than it did, ruling not that the citizenship question was administratively imperfect, but that it was unconstitutional and un-American. https://t.co/Cu5Uc4uTUz

This is the latest example of how Donald Trump isn’t the only threat to this country. His presidency wouldn’t be possible without the lies spread by the propagandists in right-wing media—and those who believe them.
