By “I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
This appears to have freaked out even Joe Scarborough, who noted that “evangelicals should be able to talk politics … some might find that statement very troubling, that we’re going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that’s all I’m going to say.” Of course, it’s a bit unclear to me what amending the Constitution to “God’s standards” would require, although I presume that it wouldn’t involve the banning of pork products.
