What Would Jefferson Do?
The Constitution And ‘God’s Standards’: What Would Jefferson Do?

Yesterday, at a campaign stop in Michigan, Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee expressed his desire that the U.S. Constitution reflect “God’s standards”

do not want to change the Constitution,” he said, “but I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that’s what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards.”

This comment, combined with Mitt Romney’s “Faith in America” speech, Hillary Clinton’s church appearances, John McCain’s “Christian nation” affirmation and Barack Obama’s gospel tour in South Carolina got me thinking: WWJD?
