True, but there are still the courts - and I think the reason that
census resisters haven't been tried is that Uncle knows the "legal" 
grounds for the invasive questions is shaky at best, and doesn't
want a court case ... especially since the trial would be open.
Can't have the general populace hearing arguments based on the
Constitution now, can they?
