Huckabee: ‘amend the Constitution’ to ‘God’s standards.’<\/a>: “<\/p>\n

At a campaign stop yesterday, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee recommended — to a cheering audience — that the Constitution be ‘changed’ to fit ‘God’s standards’:<\/p>\n

\n

I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. 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 is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards<\/strong> rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rawstory notes that in response, MSNBC’s ‘Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough<\/a> couldn’t immediately find much to say beyond calling it ‘interesting.’’<\/p>\n
