"Moore was guesting on far-right radio show, “The Aroostook Watchmen” in June of 2011, when one of the show’s hosts suggested passing an Amendment that would nullify all Amendments from 11 to 27.
“That would eliminate many problems,” Moore said. “You know people don’t understand how some of these amendments have completely tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended.”
One of the hosts said that the U.S. south only reluctantly agreed that slaves should be freed and allowed to enjoy human rights.
“People also don’t understand,” he said, “and being from the South I bet you get it, the 14th Amendment was only approved at the point of the gun.”
“Yeah, it had very serious problems with its approval by the states,” said Moore. “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.”
