For crying out loud! Catch up, "Huckster".... er.... Huckabee.

COMMENTS: 
*  Actually the decision was overturned by the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The 14th Amendment was then passed to make it impervious to Congressional repudiation if the Southern louts got control of Congress  Huckabee is such a fool.
*  Huckabee shows the problem of the GOP. You've got these fools who THINK they can be POTUS.. and then they open their mouths!
*  Huckabee seems like a particularly dumb version of "Goober Pyle." Maybe he can learn something while serving Kim Davis's Jail time.
*  Not a good preacher, not a good talk show host, not a good governor and doesn't know basic U.S. history. The GOP needs to stop lifting rocks and enabling whatever crawls out to run for president of the United States.
*  The hard right cites the constitution until it goes against them, then they make up something different. That's how whackjobs think.
*  There is nothing intelligent about Huckabee, nor does he seem to have any understanding of how our government works, our history, or the Bible for that matter. He consistently seems to be on the wrong side of everything. Presidential material? Of a funny farm, maybe. But not of the US.

Huckabee says Dred Scott still ‘law of land’
By Bradford Richardson, September 10, 2015

Mike Huckabee on Thursday said the Dred Scott decision denying U.S. citizenship to African-Americans is the law of the land.

Huckabee mentioned the Supreme Court decision as he defended Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’s decision to defy the court’s ruling on gay marriage and refuse to issue marriage licenses.

“Michael, the Dred Scott decision of 1857 still remains to this day the law of the land, which says that black people aren’t fully human,” Huckabee told radio show host Michael Medved. “Does anybody still follow the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision?”

Dred Scott was overturned by the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868.

The former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate has referred to the infamous decision several times in defense of Davis, but this is the first time he has described it as the “law of the land.”

He previously had argued against the legal doctrine of judicial supremacy, which holds that the Judiciary is the final arbiter of the U.S. Constitution.

“So, I go back to my question, is slavery the law of the land, should it have been the law of the land because Dred Scott said so?” Huckabee asked on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on Sunday. “Was that a correct decision? Should the courts have been irrevocably followed on that? Should Lincoln have been put in jail? Because he ignored it. That’s the fundamental question.”

Davis was jailed for five days after being held in contempt of court on Sept. 3.

A representative from the Huckabee campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
