Both Huckabee and Santorum have now suggested they would simply defy the Supreme Court on abortion. Huckabee went further than most candidates I can recall by saying he would invoke the 5th and 14th Amendments and take some kind of executive action to overturn Roe v. Wade. It’s an interesting contrast to repeated criticism of Obama for his executive actions. And a sharp contrast with Pataki, who said Roe was settled law and shouldn’t be changed. Wonder if the other candidates will eventually have to take sides on whether the Supreme Court is truly supreme.
