19. But the other amendments ARE part of the Consitution.

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.
