Now Here's A Great Idea, But.....

I'm not quite certain I want to elect the guy just to see this constitutional amendment re amended, but if he manages to make it to the nomination I'll be pulling the lever for ol' Huckleberry.

He also has a good stand on the Ramos_Campean situation, promising to make a pardon of them his first act as president, but let's all hope and pray they don't have to wait that long to get out of jail after being railroaded in there in the first place. This is president Bush's most glaring failure as president next to his love for illegals letting this unconstitutional conviction continue to stand this long .

Huckabee vows to defy birthright citizenship - -

The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "Mike Huckabee wants to amend the Constitution to prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens, according to his top immigration surrogate — a radical step no other major presidential candidate has embraced.

Mr. Huckabee, who won last week's Republican Iowa caucuses, promised Minuteman Project founder James Gilchrist that he would force a test case to the Supreme Court to challenge birthright citizenship, and would push Congress to pass a 28th Amendment to the Constitution to remove any doubt."

The former Arkansas governor thinks the case against U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean was railroaded, Mr. Gilchrist said. Ramos and Compean are serving lengthy prison sentences for shooting a fleeing drug-smuggling suspect in the buttocks.

"I would make it my first act as president to pardon agents Ramos and Compean," Mr. Gilchrist said Mr. Huckabee told him. "I regret that they have spent yet another Christmas locked up in a windowless cell like animals and unable to be free and with their families."

Mr. Gilchrist, who campaigned with Mr. Huckabee in Iowa last week, said Mr. Huckabee explained his positions in a half-hour conversation on the campaign trail.

"I read back my notes to him twice and I told him I did not want to put words in his mouth," said Mr. Gilchrist, who also issued a press release from the Minuteman Project detailing Mr. Huckabee's positions. "The guy looked me right in the eye." continued
