Attorney General William Barr told the AP that he sees a legal pathway to adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, despite a Supreme Court ruling that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily.

Attorney General William Barr speaks to reporters after a tour of a federal prison Monday, July 8, 2019, in Edgefield, S.C.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said the Trump administration will take action in the coming days that he believes will allow the government to ask the controversial question. Barr would not detail the administration’s plans, though a senior official said President Donald Trump is expected to issue a presidential memorandum to the Commerce Department instructing it to include the question., who has been pressing for the government to ask about citizenship on next year’s census.

It’s unclear what new rationale for asking the question the administration might include in a presidential memorandum. “Since these cases began, the lawyers representing the United States in these cases have given countless hours to defending the Commerce Department and have consistently demonstrated the highest professionalism, integrity and skill inside and outside the courtroom,” department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement.

William Barr is what we knew he was. Shit!

William Barr uses his legal knowledge to get around the law. Time for him to be put out to pasture.

I think Barr is the biggest disappointment of all those appointed to government jobs. He has shown no effort to stand up for the job and our country like khe is appointed to do. His job to him means standing up for Trump for some weird reason. He is wimp in ag clothes.

For English press 1 but can't ask if you are a citizen ? What stops people from lying on census?

I am still completely confused why it is inappropriate to obtain accurate population information via USCencus . I was taught in 5th grade that this was the process.

Stop “hinting “ and get it done!!!

The Attorney General is planning to subvert the SCOTUS ruling?! Can we disbar him now?

If the question isn’t included, I will refuse to fill-out a phony census.

ad HENCHMEN go mr barr you are the best!!!

dictatorship

If Americans only understood how important it is to have a accurate count of Americans. Your taxes pay for those illegals to live here free. If you want to give money away send me a check.

.RepJerryNadler They should seek a legal challenge to Barr keeping his law license by stacking up complaints again him every time he does something shady to help Trump. I told you congress how to deal with Trump IlhanMN AOC TeamPelosi

KathleenMcCarr8 Who's a good boy

Damn right its a relevant question

Its simple.....if the question is there..DONT ANSWER IT.....OR HOW ABOUT EVERYONE IS ILLEGAL

Barr's Daddy is connected to Epstein.

Put Barr in a cage with Jeffrey Epstein

_Politics Everyone should check the box for not a citizen. If they check any box at all.

Go ahead. It's a stupid card mailed to your home. Filling it out or tossing it is voluntary. There is no way to verify any of the information put on it. There is no way to tell if someone who marks themselves as 'Citizen' isn't one. It's just another easily fooled survey.

Any way that realDonaldTrump, AG Barr & the GOP can discriminate & ultimately steal another election they’ll do it. Corruption all day every day.

I don’t understand why democrats don’t want the question asked, do they not want to know how many illegal aliens are in the country and how illegal aliens are influencing our elections?

Great the personal attorney for president pussy grabber is doing a great job

Of course he will anything to keep there demented policy’s to continue . Barr is nothing more then a errand boy for trump . Trump says jump Barr say how high . We have come to a time in our government that is not for all people, it’s for a small 1% . To keep it at any costs

Why do we even have three branches of government when trump just runs the country as a dictatorship anyway.

Shouldn't it read 'Attorney General lap dog'? Seriously people, call it what it is. We now have a justice department that is a joke with the department head's sole purpose to cover the corrupt loser that gave him his job...

Barr is full of shit...the decision has been made... their reasons were found to be lacking any real merit and Barr just wishes to keeps dead issue part of an on going dialogue

BoycottTheCensus

Castrated and put on an island with other pedos... Completely away from society or just simply put to death...

Would you please tell him, there's quite a few of us that might REFUSE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION! This WhiteHouse realdonaldtrump complicit GOP circumvents OUR CONSTITUTION breaking laws! VoteBlueToSaveAmerica ImpeachmentInquiryNow TrumpResign AcostaResign

This should frighten every American. This administration thinks it’s above the law and will force their agenda by any means possible, legal or NOT!

Using fancy words does not make him right! He just might find some alternative facts?

Blows my mind that ppl in our country don’t want this question on the census. It’s bc Democrats MUST import illegal voters. They tried to rig the 2016 election & failed. Guess this is a new approach. Overwhelm Border Patrol with importation. VoteRedToSaveAmerica

John Roberts strikes again, he is not in favor of American First, he proved it with O'crapperCare, Now this Decision of Choosing ILLEGAL ALIENS over U.S. CITIZENS, Roberts is a Bush NWO Plant & O'Liar Puppet, can a President use Executive Orders to Remove this TRAITOR

Lawlessness! Checks and Balances? There needs to be a reset system if the entirety of our representatives can’t or won’t do their jobs!

Why does AGBarr still have a job?! He’s not our AG.. he’s TrumpFixer. DisbarBarr ImpeachBarr Mueller

POTUS Illegals should not receive tax dollars from citizens

The law and order president going around a Supreme Court decision.

Barr is a FRAUD! We all saw on live TV. He misrepresented KEY details & didn't know critical info in Mueller report. (ie. Voter Data & Russia, Various Meetings, etc.) House should have ALREADY held Barr in contempt & removed him. They are destroying evidence. HouseJudiciary

AG is daddy to a madman.

“The man who hired Epstein when he was 20 years old to be a math teacher at NYC elite private school Dalton was Donald Barr, the father of William Barr, the current Attorney General of the United States.”

Citizenship question must be on

It violates due process. Next question.

It's called, do what you want because you run federal law enforcement and nobody can hold you accountable since the Senate is willing to protect anyone from impeachment.

👈 citizen AF!

Trump2020 😁

Barr should resign or be impeached.

Obama was the only President not to have the citizen question. It should be no big deal.b

This man is a criminal. BarrisTrumpsFixer BarrIsLawless

Barr a douchebag that left all morals, ethics, and class at the door.

The fact that the dems want to use it as leverage pretty much proves it is unconstitutional to not be a question! That's foreign countries interfering in our election!

AG Barr is just pandering to the POSOTUS.

How can can Barr see a pathway leading anywhere when his fat head is stuck so far up realDonaldTrumps vagina this man can’t see anything he is totally blinded and confused

LowBarr

Time to start lying on our census information!

Ask if they are legal resident. Yes or no. Done.

YES!! Smart AG. Always was a part of the Census. Why are Democrats obstructing

I won’t be answering it except to write in N/A

I see a legal pathway to put him behind bars for the rest of his life. USAGov TheIGInspector gop fbi weWillHoldYouAccountable

WritesTruths I'm a white American but I'm not going to answer that question!

WritesTruths I call BS!

WritesTruths Or, maybe not.

How about a pathway to disbaring this PO💩

I love that man. The Bill Belichick of AG’s.

WritesTruths Wrong. He won’t.

Whoever has Barr's bar in a wrench is leading him around like a ringed-nosed cow.

WritesTruths Nope

WritesTruths ImpeachBarrFirst It's a shitty state of affairs when our attorney general is a lawless crook. SpeakerPelosi

Lies lies lies all lies

Democrats need to grow a pair and fight back.

I’m just so tired of all this crap! trump is truly above the law! It goes on and on and on and on and on

How about our Attorney General follows the ruling of the Supreme Court!

Sounds good to me.

If they’re truthful about why they want the question added, I think SCOTUS will rule in their favor. Sounds like SCOTUS just didn’t appreciate being lied to. SCOTUS will be rendered useless soon, just like Congress already has.

_Politics Good. There is no legitimate reason for NOT asking the question.

The Supreme Court ruling supersedes any excuse they have for adding it, therefore, if it’s added you do not have to answer it.

I’m claiming Hispanic this time. 😆

Ram it down their throats!

Corrupt as the rest of them

SpeakerPelosi why hasn’t Barr been impeached? ImpeachTrumpAndBarrNow

Once the executive branch stops listening to the SCOTUS, we can truly say we are in a constitutional crisis. GOp stacked the court in his favor & even when they do use sound judgment at times, oh wait there is that one Justice Kennedy that he did not appoint, he doesn’t listen.

Get it done.

legalCAT10 He sees sh*t in his dreams... loser

He is only a servant kiss butt for individual-1 es un asco para la sociedad norteamericana

Do it! It would be nice to know exactly how many legal voters we have in every district.

Is it just me or does Barr have permanent Droopy Dog face?

Considering how many illegals are in the country, it’s common sense to ask the question, since the Census figures are used to determine the of seats in the House & drawing Representatives districts. Including illegals will bloat the count.

Citizenship question is an attempt by the GOP to figure out where all those who aren't citizens are living so they can then use that information in order mass deport them out of the country in order to reduce the population of States thereby reducing the number of house members.

No question anymore. ✔Barr represents realDonaldTrump ✔Voters interests are no longer represented by Barr in our WhiteHouse CorruptGOP PutinsPuppet

Barr will go down in history as one of the greatest threats to American democracy and our Constitution.

Just duplicate the long form of the 2000 census. It asked the citizenship question. You wouldn't be changing anything, so no new approval should be needed.

The shadiness is what bothers me the most. Presumably they gave their real reason for this question the first time. Scotus ruled it unconstitutional. Any reason they give now is just a lie.

AWESOME!

LOL.

So when SC says your reason for the question was contrived, you try to fabricate a better contrived reason. Dear god - this is the most dishonest admin in history. Barr - your reputation has been destroyed. You’ll be remembered as being complicit with this assault on democracy.

Good.

White men in power will destroy America keep watching

Do they REALLY THINK people will answer the damn question anyway 🤦‍♀️ Put it on, fine me $100 If I don’t want to fill it out I won’t. 🤷‍♀️

Good. Asking if u r a citizen is a simple legal question and does not threaten anyone. We have the right to know who is in our country. If the question frightens u then dont answer it

Contrived. Barr and Trump will stop at nothing to get what they want. Why are the trial lawyers resigning AG Barr? Is this draining the swamp? What is the path forward AG Barr? What is that? ... We are to stupid to understand, so just trust us! I hope I live to see real justice

I think my calendar is broke? I thought the absolute date was no later than June 30th My calendar says July 8th and they still haven't even figured it out yet? trump - making up the rules as he goes

This is a sad day for democracy.

Someone needs to dig deep for the dirt on this BIG A HOLE. I'm sure that there is something in his past.

I do not know which of these two I hate the most, Barr or Mitch! it’s a damn toss up! 😡😡😡

Mob lawyer gotta mob

So sorry William Barr has sold his soul to devil too.

Ok then, lets see it through MrBarr

Troubling, to say the least. If certain people don’t answer the census bc of the question, that means less funding for states if the census shows a smaller population, a greater likelihood of redistributing to favor republicans, and less representation in Congress.

Trumps Personal lawyer strikes again! Isn’t this in violation of his oath? Is anyone upset about this?

Spin and lies, as usual

Barr is bluffing as a distraction

Time to impeach Barr. He’s an embarrassment to this nation

Not the “legal pathway to citizenship” the Dems wanted but it’s the one they are going to get!

Good. Census controls many things with out voting system and only citizens can vote.

Impeach him

Lock up this toad or water board him

tkinder Excellent.

that guy could see a legal pathway to making trump king

Lol do they think it is required for people to fill out the census? 😂 🤦🏾‍♀️

And everyone thought sessions was a bigot

Barr is so incredibly sleazy. If he ever had a 'good reputation,' he certainly doesn't have one now. The guy is a disaster! He is bringing lawlessness to an unspeakable level. ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarr

Barr is Trumps servant and enabler.

He also thinks his four page summary of the Mueller report was correct. in other words, Barr needs to go back to law school.

Just don’t answer the question.

Let's not forget that Barr works for an inept incompetent child molester. Let's stop letting child molesters run the country.

So know we go against supreme court. Wow

Why is everyone so scared of a valid question. I know why Hispanics are a good portion illegal. But not sure why everyone else is. Before you run your mouths about racism. I don't remember my people inviting anyone of you here in the first place anyway.

AG Barr is using gestapo-like tactics to circumvent the U.S. constitution. “To hell with American democracy.” GOP GOPLeader senatemajldr GOPSenate GOPHouse are complicit

How are there not charges of contempt for Barr for this

Did not rule against said they did not have enough time to review the case before census would be printed so they blocked it.

So this guy’s name is Barr, you say? I thought it was Darth Vader with his mask off.

This is their priority?

nothing better than showing up the Supreme Court. Yeah, go ahead, add your “question”, clowns. Hahaha! 😂

this is ONLY 2 b able 2 gerrymander much much better so old white men can stay in control

You put that question on there it will be the most messed up census in history.

'The approach we are taking?' Somebody needs to clue this arsehole in and let him know that he is not part of the Trump administration. He is the AG for the United States and if he can't be that then he needs to gtfo!

Of course there’s a pathway to getting that citizenship question on the census ... Barr just has to tell the SCOTUS to go F themselves. 🙌🏽 Yup, some fine man of legal mind and integrity Barr turned out to be. Fooled y’all.

Ask all you want. I’m not answering the question.

AH Barr BeBeSSt to KKKoncentrHATE on a way to SStay outta jail. His tieSS with EpSStein go waaay tF bacKKK. This is getting ready to blow!!!

Barr is 100% compromised. What did weak cowardly IllegitimatePOTUS realDonaldTrump promise him and how stupid and gullible is Barr to believe anything out of trump’s mouth?

AG Barr is unfit.

How is anyone supposed to have any respect for the law when the AG of the US acts like this?

A disgrace to the office of US AttorneyGeneral! Barr trying hard to find ways around the rule of law! DisbarBarr

on thin ice in July...

Good. It’s an absurdity to suggest that it’s illegitimate to determine who is a citizen.

BEND OVER AMERICA.... BARR SAYS SCREW SUPREME COURT..... to HELL w/ LAWS says TRUMP/BARR

SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer What the hell are you two going to do about this crap! I see, you two no longer want to act like one of the branches of government since Barr doesn’t recognize the Supreme as one.

AG Barr is performing exactly what he was hired to do. The question to add is ' Why?'

It's not a legal pathway. It's a Barr is Trump's lapdog pathway.

Here’s the rub. Trump, Barr, McConnell & rest of GOP mobsters break law with impunity. If we don’t fill out census we pay $100 fine, $500 If we lie. This isn’t democracy its feudalism. Without a thriving middle class USA is nothing but a waste land, a relic of once great nation.

Of course the question should be on the census! This is all such nonsense.

So...just Disregard the Supreme Court.... CitizenshipQuestion

So he advocates ignoring the Supreme Court. Republicans. Breaking the Constitution. Lincoln and Reagan, weep.

Serious question, could the government possibly use this to refer people to ICE? I haven't seen this point made anywhere?

As head of the DOJ and chief legal counsel to the president, the duties of the attorney general are obviously important and wide reaching. The attorney general prosecutes cases that involve the government and (new rules) apparently does whatever the hell the president wants.

Barr needs to be physically removed. He’s aiding and abetting a criminal.

STabbytosavit Given the ruling by the Sumpreme Court, adding the question will more than likely cause numerous law suits, which I would hope will invalidate the census results. If the Supreme Court decision stands, I WOULD NOT ANSWER ANY CENSUS QUESTIONS!!

In favor of the republicans

The loops these cretins go to disenfranchise citizens is mind blowing 🤯 My mother was a naturalized citizen always terrified the govt would find a way to deny her. She only traveled out of the country once & she was detained at the Canadian border. This is GOP goal-fear.

His Justice Department has a deep bench of loyal, honorable advocates ready to advance a SPURIOUS argument.

Treason 😡🥊

So much for having the Supreme Court!

Barr is a crook and history will not be kind to him . Too bad he didn’t just retire with a somewhat decent reputation .

Barr so deep up Donald’s arse, only shoe laces showing. Thought his dad worked for Epstein. Small world.

So let's say we have a 'citizenship question'.....WHAT exactly is it going to be used for That is my question.

FU Barr

NOT an issue. There always has been, and always will be a way to 'ask'/include the question on census. If BO ordered it deleted, Trump can reinstate it. That's the legal pathway.

Not. Above. The. Law.

Barr For the people Not the president

So, they think that IF the question is on the census, that it will be answered honestly, if at all?

SCOTUS WINS ALWAYS!

Of course he did, Trumps 'Roy Cohn' bought and paid for.

One question why don’t dems want that question on the census? We need to know who is in our country

So, the AG is actively seeking to go against the Supreme Court? He should be disbarred...

Evil incarnate.

we must know who are citizens

Supreme Court said to come back with a reason. Cite the constitution! EO for safety of Americans and use the tens of thousands of maiming and deaths from criminals and drugs as the reason along with child trafficking and rapes.

He needs to be impeached. Any AG who even suggests that there is a 'legal way' around a SCOTUS ruling is actively undermining the Constitution, not upholding his oath of office, and needs to be removed per the Constitution he refuses to respect. ImpeachBarrNow

Gee, it might take until 2525 to figure this one out.

He is a godless, wicked individual.

Where does it all end at.

I refuse to do the census if that question is on it.

Pathway, huh!?

Barr's day today:

Go Barr Go. Best AG is decades...

A. Barr isn’t stupid. B. Barr is bizarrely ambitious (power hungry) as are many in the GOP. C. Barr knows Trumputin is terminally stupid. D. Barr sees Trumputin’s illegitimate “presidency” as a means to actually govern the US through Trumputin, our Constitution be damned.

I wonder how much Barr charges Trump, his only client, an hour as his personal lawyer? Hope Trump's checks continue to bounce. Insufficient funds.

POC💩

What a crappy biased take from

The only pathway is the Yellow Brick Road! 😕

Maybe SCOTUS can now rule against those trying to block the Census question based on SpeakerPelosi expressing her racist garbage: Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that Trump wants to add the citizenship information because he wants to “make America white again.”

Sure he does. Trump says 'fuck the Constitution' Barr says, how deep, how hard, how many positions, and is there a dressing room I can do it in.

King DumbassDonnieJ has spoken 💩

well they can ask , we don't have to answer , russian allocytes don't deserve an answer from me

. I see a legal pathway to his impeachment...

I’ve heard this take before: Federal Income Tax payers that lives in California, Texas or New York you may NOT want this question added. If you’re a Federal Income Tax payer that lives elsewhere, your state is getting screwed out of funding without the question added.

And if they do i will not answer it

AG Toady even looks like a toad.

There's just one branch of government now. 🤨

Republicans, aren't you sick of the lawlessness of this regime? Be honest, what would you say if Obama defied the SCOTUS?

It's the right thing to do, like it or not.

Why do people think the question is bad? I honestly don't see the big issue. Add it in

I'm going to take a pathway towards being suddenly Hispanic on this census.

Perhaps someone should explain simple law to the AG? It appears he doesn’t have a fucking clue.

Checks and balances.

So we can do what our country must do and has always done except under Barack Obama? Supreme Court got it very wrong - wht?

Someone let the Attorney General know that he's not the president's personal attorney. He seems a little hazy on that fact.

Oh cool. Love seeing White House find ways around the Supreme Court

How corrupt have you become Barr family, proud? I wouldn't be! 🙏

I am not going to answer it.

Fk Barr.. bought judge..

floramcg7 He just sees power and $$$... he’s already proved that... WeSeeYou

Attorney General will now be referred to as Secretary Workaround.

He will say absolutely ANYTHING he is told to say. El que se revaja much se le ve el culo.

Barr is as corrupt as the rest of the trump crime family

Crooked. Every last one of them. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

There is no end no bottom to the evil that is the GOP

Great. If USSupremeCourt overtures Roe v Wade, the next TheDemocrats AG will say “their wrong” and just go around this irrelevant branch of Government. Que the GOP 😭

Do you legally have to answer the question? Maybe that's our pathway

Douchebag

So the Supreme Court doesn’t matter to you and trump?

I get asked if I'm a citizen at the RMV, the doctor's office, my child's school, on job applications, etc., etc., etc. So why it's such an issue to have it on the census is puzzling to me.

Man he’s a real piece of f’ing work isnt he? ImpeachBarr

W🤫W...DOJ+Trump are above every law. What “Supreme Court” ? Huh see the pattern now?

BarrBehindBars

To all citizens of USA and none citizens, Write in your census forms under citizenship “ none of your fking business, trump” census was made to count population thru out the globe, not to count citizenship of a nation, period.

Back on the Census*

We don’t want our country filled with grifters and law breakers. Deport them all.

Of course that's not true in the end! Wow his actions demonstrate he's only loyal to the GOP and 45's agenda. So there's that inconvenient truth.

doomsday_daddy LOVE 💕 AG Barr !

Huh?

And if anybody said that I was prejudiced or anything else I would tell them to prove it including the Supreme Court if they mentioned that I was prejudiced or whatever I would tell them prove it yes I would tell them to prove it we need a federally-run news station as well

AGWilliamBarr what I see is a way for sending his sorry arse to PRISON for violation of the law. scotus is final word. If barr screws n overrides scotus THERE IS NO LAW. THEY R NULL N VOID. ITS MEANINGLESS!!

If I were president with all the chaos that's going on at the border and everything else I would shut all immigration down for any reason and close everything until the Border was built there would be no one coming and no one going at them unless they had a plane ticket

gop does EVERYTHING they can: lie, steal, cheat, collude to win elections— everything BUT win voters over with good ideas.

Alternate headline: Another Trump pox on all our houses.

I heard that the president can Trump the Supreme Court on this issue because the Supreme Court doesn't have the executive privilege to decide this even though it went before them that the president can still put it on under an executive order that's what I heard if he desires too

This question was never NOT going to be on the census. They don’t give a good god damn about rule of law. It simply doesn’t matter. Thy do what they want. They won. They cut the balls off of the entire fed govt.

It’s absolutely insane to argue that tax paying US citizens do not have the right to know how many foreigners are in the country.

The only pathway Barr’s ever found is to the White House refrigerator....

Barr willing to sell his soul!!

This isn’t American Government.

He realizes people just won't answer the question?

Barr is my hero

Always breaking the law.

I don’t want to pay Barr’s salary anymore. He’s not doing his job representing the American people. He’s representing Trump and should be paid by him as a personal lawyer. I work too hard for my money. What are our options to get him out? neal_katyal tribelaw JoyceWhiteVance

It is so disheartening when apparently laws and ruling just simply don’t matter anymore. Supreme court has ruled, and the deadline to print the form has passed.

Scoundrels all

When did Norm from Cheers turn evil?

If he does, we will ALL refuse to answer it.

All of a sudden the sob, says screw the Supreme Court. I’ll say next time I’m in front of a judge.

They had it pre-Obama. So clearly it had legal basis enough then.

He's not Trump's fucking lawyer, he's supposed to be the nation's! What an absolute abuse of power and violation of the Constitution. GOP officially has no shame and has incinerated their moral compass.

For Trump, it comes in handy to have installed a hand-picked stooge.

Now Barr thinks hes above the Supreme Court.

Hey SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi HouseDemocrats HouseJudiciary RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff maybe you could work up slowly to ImpeachDonaldTrump by practicing on this evil piece of 💩. ImpeachBillBarr first, and when you’re more comfortable, ImpeachDonaldTrump.

What a sycophant! He writes a letter supporting Trump then Trump appoints him to do his bidding!!! Quid Pro Quo at its basic!!!

If he gets any further up trump’s a** he’ll need a flashlight.

Excellent! Our Great AG!

Yep. Its called ignoring the law.

If the question ends up on the census, couldn't the public just ignore answering it?

It is an honest question that should have been on the census since day 1.

Crook should be impeached

Wow then there’s this POS DisbarBarr

A Fixer is gonna Fix.

He's clearly more interested in serving Trump than the Law. Bitch-ass fascist.

I'll mark illegal...come get me

nllm don't judge me, I'm left handed

When did Mark Hamill become Attorney General

WSMV It is the only thing that makes sense.

JavierSotoTV Hopefully yes -

Well, of course he does. 😒

Circumventing a SCOTUS order is not a 'legal path', it's ignoring a court order and ignoring SCOTUS with bad faith arguments justifying why because you don't like the ruling and need to keep the base happy. This is un-American. What a scumbag Barr is.

If undocumented immigrants are rapists and murderers shouldn't we allocate police protection accordingly? 🤔

So they lied to the court to get the case heard by June 30?

This is just more proof that this guy works for trump. Who gets to hire the person who says your guilty or not realDonaldTrump does why? He is above the law and doesn’t care example of not caring. Shut down government for months 800 000 jobs

Of course he would. You can do anything if you do not abide by the law.

Because 'FUCK American law' is SO MUCH more fun than '...follow it'! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🍄🇺🇸💩

Good! No citizenship No Vote.

This fool is nothing more than TRump’s tool

Shocked

But do we HAVE to answer?

According to Barr, something is illegal until HE decides it isn't.

Yes!!! Love Barr!

So why are we not asking people living in the US whether or not they are a citizen?

How come my personal interpretation of the law doesn’t matter?

JaredRizzi Sure he does.

How is “are you a legal US citizen” even a question to be or not be on the census? Isn’t that the whole point? To get a good idea of how many Americans we have? I just don’t get it.

as usual, Barr is full of 💩

Get rid of the Supreme Court. Problem solved. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Attorney General William Barr tells that he sees a way to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Barr would not detail the administration's plans following a Supreme Court ruling that blocked the question, at least temporarily.

Hmm. I see a legal pathway to Barr being behind Barrs.

The Trump Crime Cartel, including his self appointed 'Attorney General' lackey Barr, do not believe the Constituation and rule of law apply to 'them'. The oath of office is to the Constitution and our country. Not Trump. Repeated failure to honor this oath is an act of treason

I am not worried, if the question is not there I will simply state twice the actual household.

Something needs to be done. Taxation with diluted representation is bad and leads to bad things.

Bill Barr is a fascist like Trump who will openly and eagerly violate the Supreme Court ruling. No, there is no “legal pathway” after you’ve been told you can’t add the census question. Every reporter should be reporting on the lawless behavior instead of normalizing it

Traitor Crooked

Donald Trump’s lawyer. I thought Cohen was in jail?

Legal is what this mobfuckery says is legal.

Trump proving courts and laws are irrelevant to the Pres, zero accountability with this administration.

Garbage AG. He’s not there to do Trump’s bidding or any President’s. He’s meant to be independent. And SCOTUS is there for checks and balances to keep congress AND the executive branch in check.

NoIllegals The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including former slaves—and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.”Aug 21, 2018

Of course he does Trumplapdog

Disbarr Barr!

Judt a reminder the supreme court made it abundantly clear the question was constitutional and only a different legal argument needed be submitted to allow its inclusion. Only last census did not include question and its exclusion was not from Congress or Exec order,was verbal

Keep it up, loose your license and your career.

If there was one why didnt they do that first?

Of course he does. Laws, SCOTUS. Who cares. Unimportant.

Kowtowing much William Barr? A legal challenge would tie up ur trying 2 circumvent SCOTUS ruling way past printing of the census form 4 2020. Another 1 for d book of gov't wasteful spending & 1 more chapter in DJT's idiotic gov't wasteful spending. ENOUGH! VoteGOPout2020

His daddy hired Epstein.

Who gives a shit about what Barr says!

Of course BassettHoundBarr sees a path to adding the question. It is what his Lord and Master wants. The Supreme Court and Congress be damned which they should be since the never stand up to our Supreme Leader.
