From JD Wolf, MeidasNews
.....
That means Trump's Bible is missing the amendments abolishing slavery and granting women and Black people the right to vote from the volume's back matter.

(14,760 posts)If the section is labeled Bill of Rights, then it would just include those first 10 Amendments which were added at the same time. The rest of the amendments were not a part of the Bill of Rights.

(26,468 posts)Eliminating them from a document being sold as the Constitution is fraudulent and ultra extreme "originalism."
It is a declaration that the other amendments should be ignored and that the constitution consists only of the main original body and the Bill of Rights.
It treats the other amendments as illegitimate or non-existent even though Article 5 in the original main body specifies the ability and means of making amendments. I think Midas Touch should check the Trump Bible Constitution to see if it leaves out Article 5.
