Schmuckabee: Constitution a “living, breathing document”
That’s an argument you expect to hear from the left, not from a Republican presidential candidate. Apparently, Huck doesn’t read his own web site, which says the following:
I firmly believe that the Constitution must be interpreted according to its original meaning, and flatly reject the notion of a “living Constitution.”
Here’s the video of the flip-flop. So which is it, Senator Kerry…er, Governor Schmuckabee? Is it or is it not a “living, breathing document”? Or are you going to use the Ron Paul defense, i.e. “Hey, I didn’t write that thing!”?
Fortunately, Fred Thompson understands how the Constitution really works:
This morning I heard that one of the other candidates commented that the Constitution is a “living, breathing document.”
Frankly, I assumed this came from Senator Clinton or Senator Obama. It is identical to what Al Gore said when he was running for President in 2000, when he said he would look for judges “who understand that our Constitution is a living, breathing document, that it was intended by our founders to be interpreted in the light of the constantly evolving experience of the American people.”
Imagine my surprise when I learned that this statement actually came from my opponent, Governor Huckabee, in an interview with CNN this morning. Now I know Governor Huckabee was talking about amending the Constitution, but I don’t think he understood that he was using code words that support judicial activism.
Exactly right, Fred. Huck’s wrong on immigration, wrong on criminal justice, wrong on taxes (except for the Fair Tax), and wrong on the Constitution…ergo, he’s wrong for America.

I agree Jon. He has too much in common with the Clinton’s. He even pardoned too many criminals (some of whom are contributors to this campaign) much like the previous governor of Arkansas.

Hey CrushLib, did you see this video?
Both Paul and Thompson are not mentioned. Now Fox is getting screwy.
