I anticipate with mild annoyance your like insistence on calling my claim, that this is an example basically of a US government employee half-assing a job that sucks and they hate, a "conspiracy theory." It isn't, of course. It's just that I understand what to be afraid of and you don't, so you're constantly terrified and incapable to reacting to any development other than as a kicked dog, and I'm Wittgenstein's lion. Oh, not for the sake of the damned mangy cat! But there's nothing I can say that you are able to understand, not at the moment at least.
You're way too scared for today and not nearly enough for half a decade from now, when we'll all be wishing we had made the most of this time while we had it. You could do better, but you probably won't, because even right now you're wasting the same time being angry at me for tossing off a read like this.
But how though?
That's supposed to be a static piece of text. Nobody should be required to do work on it, nobody should have access to work on it, unless the actual constitution changes.
Do you think the current administration is wanting to remove its ability to provide and maintain a Navy?
Looks like a simple copy/paste error to me.
As a certain someone is fond of saying
FAKE NEWS
ironically this would be a great way to draw attention to the missing section rather than bury it.

Yeah, ok...
A website obviously isn't the Constitution nor the law.
Dumb, over-sensationalized, rage-baiting hit piece. Move along...

Again, the website has zero impact on the law. It literally doesn't matter.

The current admin spent months saying the 14th amendment essentially isn’t valid, so they could justify it to their base once they got SCOTUS to overturn birthright citizenship, despite it being plainly enumerated in the 14th amendment.

Clearly dumb and very sensationalized! Nothing to see here!

Come on people... you're being rage-baited to hell.

Should they not expect to find the full text on the official government website for the constitution?
If I search "US constitution" and congress.gov is the first result, am I dumb for reading that source and believing that is the full text?
If I am detained illegally by ICE and I try to inform myself of my constitutional rights through the official government channels, and am not informed of my right to due process, have I been successfully ragebaited?
Alupis•1h ago
Right, because the average person googles the constitution right away when they are arrested?
What are you going to do with this googled info? Show it to the officer and get released? What reality is this even?
Nothing on this website changes anything... so yes, you are being very successfully rage baited, to the literal max. Just look how outraged over nothing you are... getting all worked up over a website on a Wednesday afternoon. You'll probably stew on this all day, even complain to others about it.
Rage baited, indeed.

Cornell University's annotated Constitution website...
A physical copy in their personal set of books...
And yes you've been successfully rage-baited, as the site problems were over an hour ago. All the text and missing commentary is back up. From the site: "The Constitution Annotated website is currently experiencing data issues. We are working to resolve this issue and regret the inconvenience."

The question is why was this removed?
If a simple accident then this is a non-story.
If deliberate, then we must understand what was the chain of command and the motivation for deleting references to habeas corpus on this government website.

I think it's wrong to overreact to what Trump is doing and label things you don't like as "lacking due process" because when he does do something illegal you'll be like the boy who cried wolf.
Trump is following the law on immigration but many people think otherwise because of media misinformation. Take the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He had his due process and a judge ordered his removal in 2019. He also received "withholding of removal" from being sent home to El Salvador. The administration made a mistake in deporting him there, but they are ordered to deport him.
Many of the people you see in the news also had their day in court.
But media is also spreading misinformation on arrests. ICE doesn't need warrants to arrest people. This has always been the case. They can also arrest anyone (citizen or not) who commits an illegal act in their presence.
It's okay to not like what Trump is doing, but you should protest to change the law, not deny reality.
Also, I'm surprised you're using "illegal" instead of "undocumented".

Of course removing this does not change the law, but this is still an official place for people to view these documents.
Could it have just been someone making an honest mistake? Yeah of course.
Has this administration already been deleting other important information from government websites and this could have been on purpose? Also yes.

Also, there's no law specifically saying the court trial needs to be in an American court room, plus the ICE-built adjunct to the Guatemalan embassy is technically American territory, and the local immigration judge was officially appointed by Congress in a secret session to protect his identity, and of course you can't let media in the room for a closed session. None of this is actually illegal, so I don't know why you're being so hyperbolic."
