“I certainly have been intrigued by the speech that we have been hearing about the census and about how we have heard words like ``partisan motives'' and ``tactics'' and basically the same things that we have been hearing for years, that Democrats have been attacking Republicans for back room maneuvers and saying all these horrible things because we do not want people to be represented according to them. Mr. Speaker, as my colleagues know, the one thing though that I find really intriguing about this debate is that while Republicans are being attacked for this, the one thing that we do not hear about when it comes to reapportionment and when it comes to using the census to count voters in 2000 is the fact that this decision has already been reached, not in a back room in Congress, not by mean- spirited Republicans getting together and figuring out how they can harm human beings, but now it has been decided already across the street by the United States Supreme Court who ruled not long ago, just a month or two ago, that it is unconstitutional. It is unconstitutional to run a census the way the administration and the way that the radical left wants to run the census in 2000.”
