In reply to the discussion: Library of Congress blames "coding error" for missing sections of online Constitution [View all]TomWilm
(1,921 posts)... I can give you some more, since the Library now has explained that new links was made in a wrong way to the XML in the database - some added code without a proper end tag. Which is a type of error that has often occurred for any smallish webmaster like myself, even when I was highly paid as a System Developer with a very public facing webpage. Shit happens!
On July 22 the Constitution was simply totally missing, and it seems like the techies were fighting to get it back in shape. This is not just a simple webpage, since the basic text is served and reused in many forms with annotations, mirroring how judges are changing the interpretation over time.
And yes, they should have better trained brains looking and proofing this - but also under the last president these pages were temporarily coded badly and even went offline from time to time.
Right now the Trmp administration is trying hard to feed us all any kind of distractions, to keep energy away from the Epstein accusations. This wild discussion about a coding error is an example that people do not need his made up distractions - they will willingly waste time on other meaningless stuff of their own silly making...
BTW, under Biden the text of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment on that website was corrected from "The Congress shall have THE power to enforce" to "The Congress shall have power to enforce".
I have not researched much on when the THE came in, but it looks like TRMP DID IT and Biden got it corrected - you are welcome to start a new conspiracy theory on that!
Biden also changed "The Preamble ANNOTED" to "The Preamble EXPLAINED". None of Biden's adjustments has been changed this year under Trmp.
