Let me preface all this by saying that I loathe Huckabee and sincerely hope he does not win any place on the GOP ticket.You don't amend the constitution unless you want to change something about it, so it follows the whole idea behind amending the constitution is to insert things into it which are considered unconstitutional. Complaining about as much is logically redundant; better to oppose it on its merits or flaws rather than its (evident) unconstitutionality.Given that the amendment process is written into the constitution, there is no change that could be made which would be in violation of itself. Rather than deriding his statements, you should be celebrating them, since they amount to a concession on his part that the constitution, as it currently stands, does not permit the wholesale banning of abortion (which I assume were what his comments were about -- the Think Progress link is remarkably devoid of context).
