- AlexandrB 1y agoHow so? The removed section is contiguous and includes a bunch of stuff about navies and states making deals with foreign powers. That's exactly what an accident would look like. Never mind that the online version of the constitution has nothing to do with the legal application thereof. It's not like judges and lawyers are going to look at the website and go: "ah well, that part of the constitution is no longer online so I will just ignore it". The level of paranoia here is unreal. We should be laughing at these idiots for being unable to manage a simple website, not spinning apocalyptic nonsense about how this will materially alter the constitution as applied in the courts.
- SoftTalker 1y ago... but it probably is.
- chrisco255 1y agoRight, the Library of Congress intentionally removed: To provide and maintain a Navy; To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces; etc from their website. Time to pack up the Carriers and Subs boys, the Congress.gov intern deleted the authorization for maintaining a Navy! It was a good run while it lasted!
- tptacek 1y agoWhich makes it a very good lesson for how bad our intuitions are about accidents.
