Why would someone be editing a copy of the Constitution in the first place, knowing full well that it doesn't make any real legal change?

The way it works is they do a hundred illegal things all at once, and see what gets through, see what people band together and spend time on.

To accomplish that they demand 100 changes all over the place to official words/documents. Then on "the day" they command everyone to do all the changes.

This particular incident, is a mistake by some web admin, who forgot to hold off until "the day" it is all suppose to change

It is an accidental glimpse into what they are putting real effort into, its unbelievable what they are already getting away with and what will keep coming

It's not a "copy of the Constitution"; it's a site about the Constitution. If you Google "US Constitution", the top of the search page will be the National Archives transcription.

This is just people wanting to be het up about something. How would this particular Constitutional heist even work?
