The internet hasn't been around that long but no other presidents did this...so why start now?

Remove parts of constitution from their website:
Wayback Machine
Sections 9, 10, write on habeas corpus.

I know that plausible deniability is going to be rhe only real theme for a response to justify it but I'm wondering if there would be a good reasons.

How does this action reflect on this administrations desire to uphold the constitution (if you actually feel they do)?


Lastly, is this a move that suggests you on the WRONG or the RIGHT side of history?

Huh. That's really weird that the entire Section 9 of Article 1 has been removed.

Just checked - Section 9 is still missing.

Much of what passes for patriotism on the Right is little more than performative posturing, a hollow façade that masks a deeper rot at the core of the U.S.' national identity.

True patriotism, in its purest form, is about more than just waving flags and spouting slogans. It's a commitment to the ideals and principles upon which this nation was founded—ideals like liberty, honesty, and justice for all. It's about recognizing the flaws and imperfections of the U.S. and working to address them, not through blind allegiances, but through thoughtful reflection and meaningful action.

To be fair quite a few Republicans have been saying such things for almost a couple decades now.

Way back, when Hugo Black was on the Supreme Court he asserted that every patriotic American ought to have his own copy of the Constitution and he would send you one free if you wrote to him. Sounds like a good idea. I still have mine.

When I first saw this, my immediate thought was that they're probably having some sort of technical difficulties. Now there is a banner at the top of the website that confirms tha they are having "data issues".
