Stop pretending it didn't happen

To whomever had the brilliant idea to scrub the ASUN website of history:

Please stop pretending it never happened. Yes, I know the Senate repealed all legislation and reintegrated it into a comprehensive codification, but those documents exist. They happened. Repealing them doesn't make them go away; it just means they don't have present force or effect. By scrubbing the website, you're making historical research next to impossible to conduct solely on the web.

K thx.

  1. By the way, a simple note informing the reader about the repeals and codification should be sufficient so people start relying on the codification.

  2. It also occurs to me that spending bills were left unaffected by the codification process, so those acts should still be published.
