Qasim Rashid, Esq.Article 1, Section 9 and 10 have been removed from the official government website on the US Constitution. This better be some kind of joke.
Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws
Removing these two would absolutely mean full blown dictatorship. Genuinely hoping this is some sort of prank or joke, but you never know with this fascist regime.
@QasimRashid@mastodon.social
Why would you even consider this a joke? It has been nothing but stripping people of their rights and grabbing as much powers as possible for the last 6 months. The Supreme Court is compromised and given over to this wanna be dictator.

Bill Zaumen@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I just checked. Other government web sites are showing Article 1, Section 9 (the only one I looked for) and the one Qasim cited now has a message saying that "The Constitution Annotated website is currently experiencing data issues. We are working to resolve this issue and regret any inconvenience."
Check again later - at this point it is consistent with a broken web site that someone is trying to fix.
Karl FogelAccording to the web site, this is a "coding error".
More specifically:
Along the top of the site is a text (hence accessible) tiny banner notice saying:
The Constitution Annotated website is currently experiencing data issues. We are working to resolve this issue and regret the inconvenience.Then, within the main banner image below that, there is an inexplicably carousel'd notice that is inlaid as an image (hence not accessible) into the right side of the historical painting that is the usual banner image. The notice says -- actually, says 5 times, repeating itself verbatim each time, because as I said the whole thing is inexplicably in a carousel even though both it and its background painting are exactly the same each time around -- the following:
Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in the Library of Congress. Due to a coding error, some sections of Article 1 are missing on the Constitution Annotated website. We are aware of the issue and are working to correct it. We expect this to be resolved soon. If you wish, we can send you an email notification when the issue is resolved.I just typed that out by hand, because it couldn't be copied-and-pasted, because, like I said, that text is only in an image :-).
. >" and the link itself is just back to the home page that one is already on.@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I'm gonna apply Hanlon's Razor here: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

This will be another way to test the waters, like when trump tweets outrageous things, then the MAGA cult laughs online at how he's 'trolling the dems'. Then trump backs off. But later, when the MAGA cult reception is more favourable, he will do what he'd tweeted. It would be interesting to see how the MAGA cult reacts to this. Then we'll know if this new horror is coming shortly or will be put on hold.

I mean, taking off a website does not take it out of the actual constitution does it.
Not a great sign, but does it change anything?
@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Just to note, the main site has the following: "Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in the Library of Congress. Due to a coding error, some sections of Article 1 are missing on the Constitution Annotated website. We are aware of the issue and working to correct it. We expect this to be resolved soon. If you wish, we can send you an email notification when the issue is resolved."
Very weird "coding error" if true!
Ghostrunner@kfogel@kfogel.org @QasimRashid@mastodon.social because it is not a coding error. in my 20 years in fintech crisis response, i have never seen an error like this. This is intentional.

mwguy@ghostrunner@hachyderm.io @kfogel@kfogel.org @QasimRashid@mastodon.social Think this is some sort of AI/Vibe Coding Thing? Like they tasked the AI with removing all the "woke" content on the site and it decided that these Sections were "woke" and removed them?
Karl Fogel@ghostrunner@hachyderm.io @QasimRashid@mastodon.social I've seen too many odd-to-impossible-looking errors in my career to be certain that this is intentional. However, I'm also not saying you're wrong -- it is, sadly, quite possible that this is a result of political interference.
For example, it might be that someone ordered the annotations or commentary on those articles to be changed (probably in some controversial and wrongheaded way, but that need have no technical significance), and in the course of making those section-specific updates the tech team accidentally brought down those sections... but then they stayed down because the content of the changes themselves are questionable and so no one's rushing to fix the problem? Or something?
Ghostrunner@kfogel@kfogel.org @QasimRashid@mastodon.social thats not how content serving works, especially static content like THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
check out debug mode - this isnt dynamic content. this was excluded. a person went in and physically removed part of the constitution of the united states from the website.
