Huckabee Calls Constitution a “Living, Breathing Document”

From Hot Air:

I’m not going to rant about this. I will point out that Huckabee’s position doesn’t square up well with the Constitution’s amendment process — a process laid out precisely because it ought to be difficult to change the Constitution, but change is sometimes necessary, and it’s necessary because the Constitution isn’t a living, breathing document. If it were, as the proponents of that understanding tend to believe, you can find meanings in the penumbras of what’s actually written, meanings that might in fact be at odds with the plain understanding of the words themselves, without having to amend the document to find the new meaning therein.

Huckabee seems more liberal everytime I see him. This is not the face of conservatives, and this should not be the face of Republicans in November. If it is, we will lose, even if he wins.
