Congress deletes habeas corpus from the constitution on its website

The quiet deletion of constitutional protections from the government’s official website marks a bold step into Orwellian fanfic. It’s a move Trump telegraphed last year, when he released his personal Trump Bible, promising his fans a King James Bible and copies of America’s foundational documents… minus the parts he doesn’t like. The Fourteenth Amendment? That thing with Equal Protection and birthright citizenship and banning insurrectionists from office? NO THANK YOU! When his own “Little Red Book” — hawked to supporters for $60 a pop — edited out the parts of the Constitution that didn’t fit his vibe, many rolled their eyes. But it was already an assault on the rule of law, with MAGA officials attempting to force his FrankenBible into schools as an educational text. American civics with the Reconstruction stuff neatly removed.

Feels like North Korea to me.

Ahh, that pesky Constitution.

Best to get rid of that entirely.

Get out while you can

It's foreign verbiage, which shouldn't be in an American constitution, and, besides, I defined it for the Congress last month the MAGA way: the President's authority to immediately deport all illegals taking over our great country.

Every Rethug should be confronted about this and forced to justify it.

I'm glad (we're) old and have already lived a pretty great life. I do feel sorry for younger people who will have to suffer with this horseshit for the next generation or so. It's so sad.

We Democrats will write a very strongly worded letter to the President and Congress about this.
