Ya, just like their Fourth Amendment rights against warrantless searches.\u00a0 The Census Bureau brazenly violated federal law to help the Army roundup Japanese-Americans who were sent into concentration camps for the duration of World War Two.\u00a0 Some folks say that is ancient history but the Census Bureau lied about its role for more than 60 years.\u00a0 Facebook announced a “census suppression policy” to censor criticisms of the Census on its platform, as have other social media giants (I discussed that in my recent American Conservative article, “The Census and Facebook: Working Hand-in-Glove to Censor the Internet<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
