    Devil’s advocate, but depending on how the page is laid out in the code, it could be that the entirety of Article 1 is a section, so if a mistake was made at some point in the section it would affect the rest of it.

    Considering they fired all of the competent people, it’s within the realm of possibility that it was a fuck up. Shit, they might have just copy and pasted whatever chatgpt spit out.

    But if it was really a coding error, all they’d have to do is provide the merge request.

          But why is AI fucking with the constitution at all? Dunno

          This. All of these hypotheticals and excuses people are making are missing/ignoring 1 simple detail:

          Why were they editing The Constitution to begin with?

          It only changes through acts of Congress and requires a super-majority. So why were they editing it?

          @onslaught545 - Seriously? You’re going the “code layout” route? Even a syntax error wouldn’t leave the rest of Section 8 unaffected while removing the hundreds of pages after it. Seriously, look at the site’s structure, each section has hundreds of pages. This isn’t a fluke.

            Because it’s a legal version with annotations, and considering all of the court cases surrounding the section recently, it makes sense to update it.
