Okay, I looked into this, and it turns out Leo is just being a loony conspiracy theorist again without checking his facts first.

This is the Justia entry for Brown v. Board of Education as it appears today.

Notice under footnote 5, it has a link to "Slaughter-House Cases."

This is Google's web cache of the same page from a few days ago.

As you can see, the name and link to the case are missing.

This appears to be a site-wide problem that they fixed and had nothing to do with covering up for Obama.

A problem they’ve had since 2008, and just fixed now!

There is no substitute for shining the light of truth on an issue.

What Donofrio pointed out was not a footnote. It was the actual text of the decision, and it had the reference specifically removed - an alteration of the actual text of the decision that has been there since 2008 and has been corrected sometime after June 21st, when the Google cache still had it with the reference edited out.

The footnote you mentioned doesn’t include the name of the case because it is several cases lumped together in one grouping - and the actual text of the Brown v Bd of Education decision refers to them simply as being the earliest cases after the 14th Amendment. So it is not reasonable for you to equate those 2 situations. Nothing that would indicate that it was a “site-wide problem”.

And just for the sake of accuracy, the Google cache that you linked to for Brown v Bd of Education was from yesterday, not “a few days ago”. Looking at the text from yesterday, I saw no instances where a case was referenced simply by a number, with the title of the case edited out. That argues AGAINST it being a “site-wide problem”, as you suggested.
