In my estimation this statement raises two incredibly important issues: 1) The very nature of the Constitution, a secular document that encourages all religions by not favoring any; and 2) Who is the authority on God's standards? Across the spectrum, Christians disagree with what exactly those standards are.

Huckabee and God's Standards
On Monday, January 14, while stumping the state on the eve of the Michigan primary, Mike Huckabee said, " 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, to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try 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."
