So he’s promising to nullify the 14th amendment? Bold strategy

Conservatives really don't like any amendment passed the 2nd. And they absolutely hate the 13th, 14th, and 15th.

The conservatives on the supreme court have been chipping away at the 14th and 15th for the last decade, but gutting both is still one of their goals.

Coincidentally, they've functionally gutted the 4th through the Supreme Court, and are taking stabs at the 6th as well.

Some of them don't even know how amendments work. They think the 2nd amendment was passed down by God on stone tablets.

I've argued with a person that didn't know amendments could change other amendments. Nor did he know how amendments were voted on. But he swore the amendments were perfect when written and couldn't possibly be changed.

You just have to talk about the 21st amendment, and how there's a brewery named after it.

Not a bad brewery, but fairly modern, all things considered.

But yeah, how amendments work is basic US government stuff, there's a required high school class on it and everything. Or at least it was required in both the states I attended high school in. Since I moved mid-year, I got to take it twice. I didn't learn as much the second time, after all, that class was taught by the gym teacher, but we still covered how amendments work. I remember one of the pot heads in class got really interested in the 18th and 21st amendments and argued that the DEA was unconstitutional because of those two amendments being needed to ban, and allow alcohol.

that class was taught by the gym teacher,

This says more than you expect about the quality of American education, and why we have people that don't know how amendments work.
