Can I take advantage of that earth return?

Is that actually earth return and not induction from the overhead line?

It seems in American politics they do this to use as a political ad or fundraising later.

Exactly what this is.

Are they also counted in the for apportioning?

Probably, if they are included as a member of a household during the census.

In any case, this bill is a waste of time grandstanding move, and even if passed, does nothing meaningful.

not surprising when he uses buzz words like "open border progressives."

He puts troll buzzwords in nearly every post. Kinda like how he always says "Biden's handlers" instead of "Biden".

Never mentions Lewzer's handlers, which are legion.

It is my understanding that they do.

They do not. Green card holders, refugees, and people seeking asylum DO count as persons. This bill seeks to deny them representation. That's about 12 million people.

then ballistics should confirm if that weapon was even fired.

Assuming anyone checks it, or even knows where it is now.

If you are the defense attorney,you will look at this possibility.

Assuming anyone is ever charged and there is a trial.

LOL. imalumpertoo going with the Alec Baldwin defense. Too funny.

prioritize illegal aliens over citizens.

Illegal aliens do not count as "persons".

"persons The Constitution" may very well prevent it from happening.

Representation is all that matters.

And Dinger and the sponsors of this bill don't want you to have it.

Apparently, non-taxpaying Indians don't count.

On the other hand, green card holders, as well as refugees and asylum seekers are considered "Persons".

When, specifically, do these humans cease to be "persons" under the Constitution?

Apparently, non-taxpaying Indians don't count.

No it isn't. It's about congressional seats and electoral college votes.

Read the bill you posted:

"requires that the statement sent by the President to Congress after the decennial census indicating the number of persons in each state exclude noncitizens."

"the bill also requires any questionnaire used in the decennial census to include a checkbox or other similar option for respondents to indicate whether the respondent and each household member is BLAH BLAH BLAH".

That's it. It does nothing else.

That was 69!!!!!

For perspective, there are around 14 million legal non-citizens in the US.

That is what needs to happen next.

That's the part that will never happen.

this is nothing but a naked power grab for rural red states and rural red districts.

Actually it's just a bunch of Republican Reps making it look like that. It's just a stats reporting issue.

It will help ICE out a lot though. They can jump right on anyone that checks that "(4) a non-U.S. national unlawfully residing in the United States" box.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Well not for this particular bill, which is nothing beyond a stats reporting issue. It makes no changes to representation.

The agent that disarmed Pretti accidentally discharged the weapon and the the other agents began firing.

That would have looked good in court.

That will be the legal issue.

Yes. It would require passing a Constitutional Amendment, which is not something that will ever happen again.

It will ultimately go down to original intent IMO.

Not letting slaves vote?

Yes. Absolutely. For citizens.

No, for "Persons". That law thing again.

The end result would likely be Minnesota loses a seat and Texas gains a seat.

That's the way it's supposed to work.

Non-citizens (this includes those who are here legally) are not permitted to vote in national elections

Yes, that is quite clear in the law. 15th Amendment, I think. Maybe the voting rights act? Not sure.

why aren't non-citizens (allegedly) not allowed to vote in national elections.

I retract my 41. I'm not actually sure what that question is asking.
