Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website
www.404media.co
Part of Article I Section 8, and all of Sections 9 and 10, which address things like habeas corpus, nobility, and militias, are gone from Congress's website for the Constitution.

FTA:

The last full version of the webpage, archived by the Internet Archive on July 17, still included the now-deleted sections. Parts of Section 8 of Article I, as well as all of Sections 9 and 10 of Article I are now gone from the live site. The deletions, as of August 6, are also archived here. The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.

    Great day for Lemmy! And it’s not even related to baked beans. Lemmy has so much more to offer the world :)

    This reminds me of a phrase/meme a Finnish friend told me about. Because Finland is such a small country, it’s not often that it’s relevant on an international context. This leads to the following phrase being said when Finland is spoken of:

    “Suomi mainittu; torilla tavataan!” which translates to “Finland mentioned; let’s go meet at the town square (in an excited, celebratory manner)”

    Along those lines, my response to this post was “Lemmy mainittu; torilla tavataan!”
