NEW: A bill by GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for a new census and round of congressional redistricting before the 2026 midterm election and excluding non-US citizens living in the states from a census count that the 14th Amendment says must include the “whole number of persons in each state”

That would explain the heavy presence of ICE in blue states.

Well, well. She hates our Constitution too.

From the top down, MAGA ignores the Constitution. SCOTUS ignores it, Congress ignores it. The Executive doesn't even acknowledge it, except the whole Article II business.

Yawn, not going to happen

Not even remotely operationally possible. 😂🤣🙄

GOP view the constitution as a roadblock between them and the totalitarian rule they want so very desperately.

Umm... non citizens cannot vote.

I don't know what amount of care you put into this wording, but I just wanted to thank you for stating the clear language of the 14th amendment every time you skeet about the Census and efforts to violate that amendment.
I am alarmed by people going out of their way to write about it differently.

The ppl demand the whole number of legal persons ALL get a vote in their elections
Voting is OUR right! Protected by the constitution. 1 person= 1 vote not this BS gerrymandering
Until the ppl of this country fight these fucks with everything they got, they will steal this country permanently

That’s a lot of unconstitutional shit in one bill.

- Greene's bill is the latest effort by Republican lawmakers to exclude millions of people living in the states without U.S. citizenship from census counts that the 14th Amendment says must include the "whole number of persons in each state"
Republicans renew a bid to remove noncitizens from the census tally behind voting maps
GOP lawmakers are trying again to exclude millions of non-U.S. citizens living in the states from census counts that the 14th Amendment says must include the "whole number of persons in each state."

Great, let's also add in a DNA test so we can exclude people whose parents are closely related, should trim her district by about half.

How many Amendments are getting violated with this cockamamie legislation?

This would mean Texas would have far fewer reps.

That would require a Constitutional amendment. Not a bill.
