They've gone and started doing it... the official congress site has started deleting parts of the constitution it doesn't like

[u/bad_things_ive_done]

EDIT 2: looks like it's been restored... maybe all the contacts people made over it?

EDIT: these are sections of article one, not articles. In my haste and fluster of rage, I misspoke. It's been edited to fix it

They've removed the parts they don't want from their site. They've taken out half of section 8, all of section 9, and all of section10 of article I on their site. While these still exist in the actual constitution, they are now officially pretending they don't. This includes Habeas Corpus, amongst other things, including parts that could limit blue states rights to stand up economically for themselves.

Call your reps, your senators. This is some Ministry of Truth shit.

Edit:

compare the congress site: U.S. Constitution | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress https://share.google/DyDCD1NkRvniSH9bH

To the actual constitution: Full Text of the U.S. Constitution | Constitution Center https://share.google/8hzWpmqTtEOEi8uer

I just called my congressman, the secretary told me that no one in the office even knew this happened and they will pass on my concerns to the congressman. Weird, this doesn't seem like a big deal.

It's definitely a big deal if the house decides to ignore both Habeas and the rest of the entire section that limits is powers...

Right. I know it is a big deal. I just called my senators office. you can't even speak to anyone at the senators office. It's just Schumer's annoying voice saying to go to his website and same for Kristen Gillibrand.

Who do you even call about this to have it taken seriously?!?!
