Republican congressman tells Trump to ignore Supreme Court and add citizenship question to census

The freshman Republican most recently found himself in the national spotlight afteralready approved by the president and passed by the GOP-controlled Senate that would have provided federal funds for victims of hurricanes, floods and wildfires across the country.

It's unclear how this could occur, as the Justice Department confirmed that it ordered the printing of census materials without the citizenship question. "The News Reports about the Department of Commerce dropping its quest to put the Citizenship Question on the Census is incorrect or, to state it differently, FAKE!" Trump wrote."We are absolutely moving forward, as we must, because of the importance of the answer to this question."there would be no citizenship question, and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross Tuesday night said in a statement that the printing of the census began without the citizenship question.

Joining the liberal court's justices in blocking the addition of the question, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the Commerce Department lacked justification when claiming the question would help enforce the Voting Rights. He described it as"contrived" reasoning and further said that the evidence indicated the Commerce Department made the decision to add the question before going to the Justice Department seeking legal justification.

So, he's just going in and writing it on the questionnaire himself? idiot. Will he be wrapped in the flag he was hugging so tenderly bc he loovvveess America sooo much?

“Ignore the Supreme Court”!!

I agree.

Comtempt of court !

Shows you what little regard republicans have for the Constitution they swore to preserve, protect & defend !

Yeah do it!! That way we can impeach him

So much for swearing to uphold the US Constitution

Is this what the GOP has come to? Openly defying the Separation Of Powers and rule of law? (sigh) An utter disgrace.

This guy should be impeached.

Rep. Roy needs to be censured for suggesting the DRAFT DODGER ignore the Supreme Court. If the people in his district re-elect him shame on them.

Republicans....... Criminals!

Ignore the Supreme Court. Republicans what are you doing

Totally agree! These Traitor judges can’t tell the Feds what to do !!

Oh Chip. You are such a disappointment.

He didn't need this guys opinion as he is already wanting to do this.

Why not? This vile administration continues to violate all ethics and laws. So why stop now?

Oh right cause balance of powers or whatever

The same President of the United States who swore to uphold the Constitution?

Do these guys even consider the implications of these kinds of suggestions? Do they really want a dictatorship?

Of course he did. The GOP are so afraid of going outside their party they are no longer for the people. Time to get the Toddler-in-chief out! DerangedDonald FuckYouGOP LockHimUp ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW BlueWave2020

You just don’t ignore their rule. Besides does he really think that people are going to honestly answer if they are a citizen or not? I conducted the Census, people can “ say “ whatever they choose.

I won't answer the question it's that simple

I agree. Judges are paid to make decisions not pass the buck

Nancy, when are you going to push for expulsion of this POS from the house, or, if you can’t expel him, at least censure him? A House member encouraging The Donald to ignore the Supreme Court needs to go!!!! chiproytx realDonaldTrump

Chip Roy is an embarrassment to the state of Texas. What else would you expect from someone that previously worked for Ted Cruz?

Neat people, those Republicans.

I’m writing in illegal alien anyways

Do it. At that point Pelosi will no longer be able to look the other way. This will be a direct violation of the Constitution. I genuinely hope he takes Roy’s advice. Do. It.

Imagine this how this bastards want to go over constitution.

90% of all census forms asked that question. Perfectly acceptable.

A member of Congress with no regard for the law, like chiproytx, should be expelled. trump is NOT a king, 'sir.' He has to comply with judicial orders, Congressional subpoenas, and the CONSTITUTION, just like the rest of us. If you are unwilling to uphold your oath, GTFO.

All republicans are traitors to the United States Constitution and need to be expelled from Congress permanently.

ANOTHER GOP OATH VIOLATING AND SHOULD BE IMPEACHED SCUMBAG. TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF THE GREAT STATE OF TEXAS I SAY - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ,PUTTING SOMEONE LIKE THIS IN CONGRESS?

This is the real demon in this equation, the GOP in Congress. They could rein in Trump, responsibly. But instead either grab as much money as they can and/or use Trump as air cover for other shenanigans. It's total malpheasence, either way and they are culpable.

This is where it's going to get very interesting. When politicians deliberately ignore the SCOTUS, and that politician is not immediately detained by the United States Marshals and potentially charged with crimes against the United States, then our Democracy has ended.

The GOP: the party of lawlessness. criminals

A true reflection of what the HouseGOP has become...the Trump Party. Sad!

And he just got completed owned about this comment in another thread. He well deserved it.

Can you ignore the Supreme Court? Did Texas Republicans and now I feel like they’re above the law? Trumps always felt that way.

Trump and his GOP minions showing their ignorance full frontal. We already knew this anyway.

Hope so

The rampant lawlessness of this party is astounding! Trump turns people into monsters!

if they put it on there, we should all select that we are not citizens as a way to revolt. It will overwhelm the system.

Translation: He wants Donny to act like a dictator.

What happened to rule of law?

The 'Law and Order' party.

trump thinks law doesn't apply to him, that's one reason for his coup tomorrow

U.S. Drops Citizenship Question From CensusThe Trump administration dropped plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census form, a turnaround after days of defiant statements following last week’s Supreme Court decision to halt the query. In other news, some people never shut-up! Presumably there will be an advertising campaign assuring people that participation in the census will not jeopardize their standing in the United States. Hasn't money already been budgeted for that purpose? This is stupid
