“Huck has already violated in spirit the Establishment Clause when he said recently that he would rather have the Constitution changed to fit “God’s Word” than “God’s Word” to fit the Constitution.
I know what he means, and empathize”
What did he really mean? I didn’t understand that quote. I have no idea what he’s trying to say there. Can you explain?
He meant, in a cute sort of way, that it would be easier to change the US Constitution than it would be to change the Bible.
After all, we all know you CAN'T change the Bible because it's already set in 'stone' -- so to speak.
So Huckabee was just playing rhetorical games, throwing red meat to evangelicals, of which I am certainly one.
The problem with Huckabee's statement is that is conjurs up visions of a "Christian only" President -- one who would violate the Establishment Clause by pushing the nation to be Christian ONLY.
That thought scares the beJesus (pun intended) out of Jewish Republicans, non faithful Republicans, secular Republicans, and Democrats.
The White House is a lot of things, but it is NOT a pulpit...
