Most certainly the states are not allowed to establish a state religion. Where the hell do you get an idea like that?Actually he didn't. The establishment clause was written to prevent the federal government from establishing a national religion. State governments are free to establish state religions.Moore violated the Constitution when he posted the Ten Commandments on his Court House property or inside of it. He was specifically cited for violating the establishment clause of the first amendment.
Before the 14th amendment is was certainly possible.
Oh, the Bill of Rights didn't apply to the States before the 14th amendment. The States could criminalize being a jew if they'd wanted to. Or suppress free speech. Or set up voting rules to prevent black folks from voting.
Which might explain Moore's favor of eliminating every amendment after the 10th.
He's still living rent free in your heads, which is sad and comical.
