It seems to me that all this talk about the Constitution is a bit misguided, since the pertaining law is part of the U.S.Code, (TITLE 13, CHAPTER 7, SUBCHAPTER II, ยง 221. Refusal or neglect to answer questions; false answers) which is free to be challenged by any lawyer in the country who thinks the law is unconstitutional. And thus far, year in and year out, the law goes unchallenged. So maybe, just maybe, it's actually not as oppressive as you make it out to be. Also, that's the U.S. Code... it has nothing to do with the County of Hawaii (or the Corporation of Hawaii, or whatever else your addled brain comes up with.) And finally, the actual questions this time around are perhaps the least intrusive set in a long time. Maybe those of you screaming and whining about your freedom ought to take five minutes and actually read the damn thing. It does a LOT of good to be counted, and answering the questions is not depriving anyone of any basic freedoms... (sheesh!)
