Comments on: You aren’t required to answer all the census questions http://qbit.cc/you-arent-required-to-answer-all-the-census-questions/ Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:08:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: bsc http://qbit.cc/you-arent-required-to-answer-all-the-census-questions/comment-page-1/#comment-143 bsc Fri, 28 May 2010 18:11:52 +0000 http://qbit.cc/?p=1506#comment-143 Hi BBob, sorry for the late reply I just noticed yours. I'm not a lawyer and don't pretend to offer any legal advice outside what I do myself. I spoke with the census worker on the phone, and answered her first question about the number of residents. After that she began to ask more questions and I said I was busy and knew I was only required to answer the first question so my district would receive the proper number of representatives in the House. She said ok and we ended the conversation, she didn't seem suprised or upset. As far as "conflicting" laws on the books are concerned, they seem like legal trickery to me. If the old rule does not apply, the ammendment should be repealed (like prohibition). How can you pass a 2nd "subchapter" that conflicts with previous law? I'm no lawyer but it seems like a trick to me, much like the entire census form after the 1st question. Hi BBob, sorry for the late reply I just noticed yours.
