Huckabee supposedly said last night at a campaign event in Michigan that the Constitution should be amended to ban both abortion and gay marriage to keep it in line with God.
Said Huck: "And that's what we need to do, is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards."
I didn't know it was an either-or, as in either we have to change the Constitution to get in line with what some people think are God's laws, or we have to change God's laws. What a bunch of ridiculous nonsense.
God's laws are perfectly fine the way they are, though there remains some disgreement about what they are. For example, while many people think abortion violates the law that thou shalt not kill, many of these same people think war does not.
Nevertheless, there is no reason that the Constitution must be in line with God's laws, whatever they really are. The Constitution is a secular document, not a religious document. I suspect Huck has never read it and is one of the millions of dolts in this country who mistakenly think God or the commandments are invoked in the Constitution.
If he did say this, Huckabee's candidacy has to be crushed. Bush with his coded language and fake religiosity was bad enough - this guy is certifiable. Amending the Constitution for religious reasons is one of the most dangerous things I can think of.
