Pelosi: House will 'soon' vote on contempt for Barr, Ross over census docs
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 07/08/19 08:33 PM EDT

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that the House will vote “soon” on a contempt resolution for Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for failing to comply with congressional subpoenas for documents on the proposed addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

“Before the break, the Oversight Committee voted on a bipartisan basis to hold the Attorney General and the Secretary of Commerce in contempt of Congress for defying the Committee’s bipartisan subpoenas for documents that would shed light on the real reason the administration added a citizenship question,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to other House Democrats. “We will be moving forward in the whole House soon.”

However, the Speaker did not provide details on when that vote will be held, or what kind of contempt resolution lawmakers might be voting on.

I can't believe this.  They are accusing the Republicans of trying to stack Congressional seats.  They have been doing the exact same thing all this time.  Welcoming in illegal immigrants so that they can get more Congressional seats.  What's really offensive is their use of racism.  To claim we want to stack it with White Republicans.  Citizens are citizens.  Nobody is talking about race except the Democratic party.  There should be no reason why the question should be omitted.  It isn't white, black, red or brown.  Its about counting citizens VS illegal immigrants.
