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.

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.
Doesn’t matter if it’s malice or incompetence, this shit should not happen in a sane country
Of course, but the motivation will influence what the response should be.
