Roy Moore in 2011: Getting rid of amendments after 10th would 'eliminate many problems'

http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/10/politics/kfile-roy-moore-aroostook-watchmen/index.html

"Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore appeared on a conspiracy-driven radio show twice in 2011, where he told the hosts in an interview that getting rid of constitutional amendments after the Tenth Amendment would 'eliminate many problems' in the way the US government is structured."

You just can't make this shit up.

His supporters are unable to accept reason it is only abortion. Kind of imprinted on their brains. Every Sunday they hear democrats are the creators of abortion. Between church and fox they are lost souls voting robotically for Moore.

...if we dumped Franken in the hopes of winning this seat and they elect someone who literally wants to kill the amendment that gave women the right to vote.

Amendment 11 Lawsuits against states
Amendment 12 Presidential elections
Amendment 13 Abolition of slavery
Amendment 14 Civil rights
Amendment 15 Black suffrage
Amendment 16 Income taxes
Amendment 17 Senatorial elections
Amendment 18 Prohibition of liquor
Amendment 19 Women's suffrage
Amendment 20 Terms of office
Amendment 21 Repeal of Prohibition
Amendment 22 Term Limits for the Presidency
Amendment 23 Washington, D.C., suffrage
Amendment 24 Abolition of poll taxes
Amendment 25 Presidential succession
Amendment 26 18-year-old suffrage
Amendment 27 Congressional pay raises

So pretty much bring back slavery and make sure no one not male and white and old can vote, and no more Presidential term limits.

Was just racist code for make blacks slaves again and things were better before the civil war. We are dealing with a neoconfederate who was pandering to a neoconfederate base on that show. A lot of white people in the south would love to enslave blacks again and believe all their problems begin and end with black people and northern agitators.
