As I understand it, Huckabee was responding to a question about abortion and same-sex marriage and noting how the courts have sometimes acted outside what the Constitution says to read their own prejudices into our founding document. In that context, what I heard him saying was not that we had to conform the Constitution to the Bible, but rather conform the courts to the Constitution. There's a big difference. If anyone were to suggest that the Bible should be the basis of the government of the United States he would be wrong to do so and violate the same Constitution he purports to uphold.
