John Harwood @JohnJHarwoodCommerce Secretary Wilbur Ross acted in bad faith, broke several laws and violated the constitutional underpinning of representative democracy when he added a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. https://t.co/0xUfosGVMb

A hell of a lot of laws are being broken by our "elected" officials, very rarely held accountable...
Can't get that in the title

(2,195 posts)I am stating a fact, that does not mean in any way that I don't care about that subject. They should be held accountable and be subject to the same penalties that we would be subject to under the same circumstances..BUT I know and if anyone looks around they will see also that there are very seldom any consequences for them.. FFS George Bush the lesser and his cohorts started a war and caused the death of countless people and and actually admitted to using torture but our wonderful representatives refused to even consider impeaching him, the speaker of the house at that time actually said "impeachment is off the table"

Jesus, Trump drained the swamp of good people and replaced them with criminals.

(2,596 posts)Is it even remotely possible that Ross is not wrapped up in this "Russiar business" too? All of those Cyprus Bank connections to money laundering and the ties with so many Russian oligarchs and you know there's no possible way in hell that the Trump crime family isn't smack dab in the middle of this toxic stew. I just can't believe this will not be something that Mueller hasn't at least looked into, let alone unearth a goldmine of illegality, corruption and collusion.

I just read that he tried to reschedule for April and Rep. Cummings said NYET, ASSHOLE
