Compare with the original, from a few weeks back

Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.

Section 9 had, among other things:

  • Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
  • a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)

Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.

      All they did is edit the copy on the Congressional website, it has no legal authority. The Constitution is still the Constitution.

      The only way to make the change actually have merit is to either go through the Amendment process or have another Constitutional Convention and re-write the whole thing…

      Which they ARE trying to do BTW:

      This is classic Ministry Of Truth tactics, it goes under many names but always exists in authoritarian society, what you recall and what you know isn’t relevant, what the state says is the truth is the only truth.

        Typically Hanlon’s razor (“Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.”) is best to live by, but honestly what in the fuck else could cause this other than malice?

        We’re approaching a time in this country that is really scaring me, and I just hope everyone has enough food, water, medical supplies, weapons/ammo, and community to get through what’s coming. Trump is setting tinder boxes all over the country and trying to provoke a violent response so he can send in martial law, and all (minus like 2) Republicans in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court support this.

        Fascists only understand one language.
