Please explain any reason why the parts that the regime in the US specifically detests and have stated multiple times are not true would be removed due to a "data issue".

Please explain how one can request a court apperance after being dissapeared by a paramilitary group with alegence to the regime that's better funded than the Russian millitary, when the library of Congress does not have a section on due process.

Please explain when the president declares that the country is being invaded and anyone he deems subversive is now labeled a terrorist enemy of the state, how one can request their rights when the parts of the Constitution no longer say that only Congress has the power to say the country is being invaded?

This is not just some random government site. This is the library of Congress. This is the first result of the word "Constitution" on every major internet search engine.

This is not a slippery slope, this is a drop into a camouflaged pitfall onto sharpened stakes covered in shit.

This was a test to see if we would notice, if we would care or be indifferent, if we would speak up.

I doubt there will be a formal explanation or investigation that will explain any of this to any degree out side of "opps, it was just a technical error" as if it could be an honest mistake to delete specific parts of a document which never has anything ever removed from it, only ever amended.

those people will always call everyone alarmists and doomsayers, until they can't because the last of their freedom laws have been quietly removed. The Nazi party in Germany didn't start roaring and revolting, it started as a fed up minority that kept screaming so loud until everyone believed they were the majority. Stand up, fight for your and your neighbours freedoms and dont give those rightwing populists even an inch

I don’t disagree.

I think it's more likely a test for the remaining, formerly Republican but essentially democracy-minded constitution worshipping government employees, military personnel etc. to see who speaks up (or at all) about it. For example if a mid level general starts making noise in a channel that Trump's minions have access to, saying they don't like what's going on and someone should do something and if they don't maybe I will- boom, loyalty tested. Similar with media talking heads etc. it's easy to assume these people are stupid or careless - they often act that way, and in some ways fundamentally are. But I doubt this was anything other than deliberate bait. You have to ask yourself, for whom? Why? Why now?
