    This doesn’t appear to be true. The website still shows the full constitution. It’s more likely someone has meddled with the archive.

      If this wasn’t true, then why did the library of Congress have a banner on its site stating

      The Constitution Annotated website is currently experiencing data issues. We are working to resolve this issue and regret the inconvenience.

      I’m not sure how you think someone “meddled” with the internet archive or what your source is but the smallest bit of research will bring you to reputable news outlets saying this happened.

      I think you are missing the part where the library of Congress simply added the sections back when people noticed it was gone.

        What the hell is a “data issue”

          They had an issue with the data. They didn’t like it.

        I encourage you to read the comment right above yours; the website really altered the constitution.

          It appears someone made a mistake and it’s now remedied. However the speed with which it gets spun into full-blown constitutional crisis is what’s frustrating, when a much simpler explanation fits.

          There are enough travesties actually happening with this administration, we don’t need to spin up fake ones.

            Yeah, a mistake that just happened to remove the exact things that this administration does not like.

            Don’t be naive.

              I’m curious about the sequence of events you think this would initiate. Perhaps the ICE raids would finally be brought before a judge, invoking the writ of habeas corpus. If it turns out that the information is no longer on the government website, the judge might declare it irrelevant? Even if the removal was malicious and intentional, it’s still just a stupid prank.

              Getting people outraged about things like this simply distracts people from the actual corruption and self-dealing happening in this administration.
