Security is on highest alert at the Library of Congress and other places in the US Capitol, after several paragraphs of the US Constitution were injured in a carefully planned revision attempt. According to reports by The Washington Post, two "significant" paragraphs were injured. The first was struck through by a hard penstroke that tore through the delicate paper it was written on. The second paragraph was stabbed in the soft underbelly by a sharply pointed caret mark pointing to a line of text written above it. A number of words are said to be in critical condition at an undisclosed location.
Capitol Hill police were alerted to the attempted revisions when several Senators awoke feeling ill, "as if their powers under the Constitution had been obliterated" said a Congressional spokesman. Numerous citizens were also admitted to hospital emergency rooms complaining of restricted mobility, paranoia, and inability to speak.
There has been no word on when the articles can be restored to the fabric of the document, and police have not yet commented on the suspected culprits.
