Several sections of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution appear to have been removed from the official U.S. government website, as pointed out by sleuths on the internet and as seen by TechCrunch.

The changes were made in the past month, according to the Wayback Machine, which shows the full original text on Congress’ website as of July 17.

Several Reddit threads identified the changes in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution: large parts of Section 8 have been removed, and Sections 9 and 10 have been deleted altogether. In the screenshot below, you can see the archived version of the site on the Wayback Machine on the left, and the current site on the right — the text highlighted in yellow has been removed.

These sections largely relate to the powers that Congress has and does not have, as well as limitations on the powers of individual states. The removal includes sections relating to habeas corpus, the powers that protect citizens from unlawful detention.

    there’s reason to think that epstein and israel are actually separate heads of the same hydra. anyway it’s possible to pay attention to more than one thing at once.

      The Epstein files are the distillation of rage in our country. They represent what Americans are most mad about, the rich and powerful doing whatever they want and trampling over the common folk. They are not a distraction, it’s a focusing lens.
