Roy Moore thinks that getting rid of all amendments to the Constitution after the 10th would "eliminate many problems."

Courtesy of CNN: 

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.

Moore made his comments about constitutional amendments in a June 2011 appearance on the "Aroostook Watchmen" show, which is hosted by Maine residents Jack McCarthy and Steve Martin. The hosts have argued that the US government is illegitimate and who have said that the September 11, 2001, attacks, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook, the Boston bombing, and other mass shootings and terrorist attacks are false flag attacks committed by the government. (False flag attacks refer to acts that are designed by perpetrators to be made to look like they were carried out by other individuals or groups.) 

The hosts have also spread conspiracy theories about the raid that led to the death of Osama Bin Laden and have pushed the false claim that former President Barack Obama was not born in the US.

In Moore's June appearance, one of the hosts says he would like to see an amendment that would void all the amendments after the Tenth. 

"That would eliminate many problems," Moore replied. "You know people don't understand how some of these amendments have completely tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended." 

Moore cited the 17th Amendment, which calls for the direct election of senators by voters rather than state legislatures, as one he particularly found troublesome. 

The host agreed with Moore, before turning his attention to the 14th Amendment, which was passed during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War and guaranteed citizenship and equal rights and protection to former slaves and has been used in landmark Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Obergefell v. Hodges. 

"People also don't understand, and being from the South I bet you get it, the 14th Amendment was only approved at the point of the gun," the host said. 

"Yeah, it had very serious problems with its approval by the states," Moore replied. "The danger in the 14th Amendment, which was to restrict, it has been a restriction on the states using the first Ten Amendments by and through the 14th Amendment. To restrict the states from doing something that the federal government was restricted from doing and allowing the federal government to do something which the first Ten Amendments prevented them from doing. If you understand the incorporation doctrine used by the courts and what it meant. You'd understand what I'm talking about."

It should be noted that besides the 14th and 17th Amendments, which Moore seems to find so troubling, there is also the the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, the 15th Amendment which prohibited the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote based on that person's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude," and the 19th Amendment, which extended voting rights to women.

So essentially in Moore's eyes the trouble really started after those damn females and the darkies got the same rights as their white male former owners.  (Yes, at one time women were considered the property of their husbands. Or as Roy Moore calls it, "the good old days.")

I guess that is yet another thing that Roy Moore has in common with Vladimir Putin.
Moore claims he learned to speak such good Russian when he was at West Point, but that certainly sounds much better than my attempts to speak the French that I learned back in the 8th grade.

Apparently Trump has recorded robo-calls for Moore, so it appears the push is on to make sure this traitorous pedophile wins that Alabama Senate seat.

    Damned right we need to do away with all the amendments after the tenth besides the ones u mentioned. Think about how things would be different without the 16th, establishing an income tax, 24th, not allowing a poll tax (how are u supposed to suppress people who would vote against u?), 26th, we don't need 18 to 21 year olds voting, they don't watch Fox News and may vote for the wrong person, and the 22nd, which put term limits on the presidency. Oh, he'll, all sarcasm aside, I agree with Moore on that one. Third term of obama compared to what we have now?

    Let's not read too much into the fact that Moore speaks a little Russian. His pronunciation was passable, but he did manage to slightly mis-translate what he said (it was actually "Hello, how are you TODAY?"). I studied Russian over forty years ago and I still remember that phrase, can still read the Cyrillic alphabet and remember my Russian cursive handwriting (maybe better than my English--who writes anymore?!). If he had said "Guten tag, wie geht es ihnen heute?" would you think that proves he's a Nazi?

    Personally, I found the beginning when he said he believed Trump was made president by God, far more chilling.

    " the learning materials it uses raise questions about its links to the Church of Scientology, in light of the school receiving more than $500,000 in taxpayer money for student scholarships between 2012-2016.

    HuffPost has been investigating the schools that receive such money for students, which comes via state-level voucher or tax credit programs.

    Judge orders Alabama not to destroy voting records in Tuesday's Senate election

    A judge directed Alabama election officials Monday afternoon to preserve all digital ballot images in Tuesday's hotly contested U.S. Senate special election.

    An order granting a preliminary injunction was filed at 1:36 p.m. Monday - less than 24 hours before voting is to begin. The order came in response to a lawsuit filed Thursday on behalf of four Alabama voters who argued that the state is required to maintain the images under state and federal law.

    "All counties employing digital ballot scanners in the Dec. 12, 2017 election are hereby ordered to set their voting machines to save all processed images in order to preserve all digital ballot images," Montgomery County Circuit Judge Roman Ashley Shaul wrote in the order.

    Priscilla Duncan, attorney for the plaintiffs, applauded the order.

    "[The images] need to be preserved at least six months under the statute," Duncan told AL.com Monday afternoon. "They are being told at this point to preserve all digital ballot records."

    Russian Propagandists Are Pushing for Roy Moore to Win
    Kremlin-linked trolls have also joined Trump and Fox News in targeting the FBI.

    ...The Kremlin’s ongoing “active measures” campaign on social media has aimed to sow confusion and chaos by supporting both far-right and far-left interests in American politics. The Alabama election presented a ripe opportunity, according to former senior CIA official John Sipher, now an expert with the national security group Cipher Brief. “In the case of Moore, the Russians certainly assess that the hyper-partisan and heated campaign is pitting Americans against each other and they want to do all they can to add fuel to the fire,” he says. “They likely assess that a Moore victory will bring the fight to Washington and further weaken the strained US political system.”

    Moore’s candidacy has the full-throated backing of President Donald Trump, who has consistently refused to acknowledge the Kremlin’s cyber meddling in US elections and has repeatedly called those efforts “a hoax,” contrary to the consensus of the entire US intelligence community.

    The digital activity around the Alabama senate race, says Sipher, is a continuation of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strategy of exploiting social media and a bitterly charged political atmosphere in America. “Supporting Mr. Moore is another means to help Mr. Trump while stoking chaos in the US at the same time,” he says.

    Ivanka’s “moderating influence” backfires: Trump endorsed Roy Moore to spite her

    The fact that Donald Trump decided late in the game to re-endorse Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, despite allegations of stalking and molesting teenage girls sickened all decent political observers.

    But even more stupefying than his decision to publicly double down on supporting Moore, after several Republicans tried to distance themselves from him, was one of his key reasons why, according to a new report from Politico: Ivanka Trump.

    In November, Ivanka told the Associated Press, “There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children.” That statement, echoed by others on Trump’s team, apparently made the president so “angry and resentful” that he was driven to announce his renewed support for Moore to spite his own staff — and his own daughter.
