Wow, @AOC is the only one in the room (including Wilbur Ross and his lawyers) aware that 1) the proposed census citizenship question wording is substantively different from the previous version, and 2) such wording changes must be submitted to Congress law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/13…
For those interested in the details of the law that @AOC references, it says Secretary Ross must submit one report to Congress detailing the subjects to be included in the census [Section (f)(1)], and a second report with the census questions [Section (f)(2)] ...
Those are the 2 reports Ross answers that he submitted. But Section (f)(3) says that if the census topics or Qs have changed, he must submit a third report explaining to Congress why he decided to change it. @AOC caught Ross failing to do that after adding the citizenship Q.
Here's the law again: law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/13…
