Various changes[edit]

I made a few changes which I hope does not change the meaning of the article for anyone. This is a somewhat interesting story but it needs to be updated if possible, and it needs more citations to sources. Yours, Famspear 23:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Updated controversies section[edit]

I rewrote the section on the controversies over passage, cutting the word count, adding citations, and keeping as much of the information as seems still relevant. There was an internet furor at the time with overdramatic articles leading with demonstrably false claims like this had never happened before in the history of America. But time has passed. As far as the legal system is concerned, even if there was a mistake the law still stands based on clearly established precedent and there's nothing to see here. The section is still justified because so much virtual ink was spilled at the time.

The last paragraph is still missing citations for the claims about hand editing in the Senate, and one of the other links is so dead even archive.org only has a 404 page. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 20:32, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
