Huckabee the Theocrat

Funny you guys mention the separation of church and state, when it's never implied in the constitution or any federal document in the 1700's.

Thomas Jefferson INVENTED THE PHRASE.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.

(emphasis added)

But then, that letter was written in 1802, so I guess that doesn't count.

I regret to say that I have not yet read the Federalist Papers, but I am confident that the subject is adequately explored therein.

(It occurs to me that you may be saying that documents from the federal government from 1791-1799 don't
explore the topic; I don't know about that, but the intent of the Founding Fathers is abundantly clear.)

[edit:  In any case, it's obvious that Huckabee has goals that are currently unconstitutional if he wants to amend the Constitution.]
