And on abortion and marriage, Huckabee merely proposes doing the former, specifically to prevent the Supremes from doing the latter.
Yes.

But I have an issue even with that - the reality is that if SCOTUS can trample on the understood meaning of the Constitution as it is now, nothing stops them from trampling on a new amendment.

Therefore the sovereign remedy for SCOTUS malfeasance is impeachment. And that requires no higher a standard of political coherence than a constitutional amendment does.

No dispute between us on that one. Nor is it an either-or choice.

Huckabee said in his speech to the Values Voter Summit that federal judges should be impeached if they ever use foreign court precedent to interpret the U.S. Constitution.
