Bumping your post on adding Amendments. However, although I would agree with the ideas of these Amendments - I’m not sure I want us changing the Constitution on everything that comes up. Plus - I think it would be practically impossible to do - at least with the abortion issue.
Heres a quote from Huck back in 2001:
“I’m pro life, but I know not everyone agrees with me on that particular topic, and I respect that. I’ll probably never change my conviction on that, and some of you won’t change yours. But in this day in which we talk about choice and the importance of it, surely we can agree that if under the Supreme Court choice is mandated, that choice should be as educated a choice as is humanly possible”.
State of the State Address, Arkansas Legislature, Jan 9,2001
For someone that now wants to change the Constitution - that statement just doesn’t seem to have the zeal that it should have.
I think the biggest problem people have for understanding Huck is that they don't appreciate the difference in running for Governor in an 87% democrat state vs a 50/50 National election. Reagan had liberal positions as a California Governor too. Huck has a very conservative platform. His opponents say he's lying and point to his more liberal record. He would never have had the opportunity to move Arkansas in a Republican direction if he had stuck to purely conservative positions. He has commited to doing so as POTUS.
