If you do practice biblical convictions and you carry them out and you do what you’ve been led by the spirit of God to do, your behavior will be criminal."

You would think (a word perhaps not in Huckabee's skill set) that someone who might have actually performed a few marriages for straight couples in his life would understand that as a "God tells me what to do" person he could refuse to marry any straight couple who came before him in his Church of Huckabee. He could refuse to marry Muslims and Jews and Catholics and Mormons and anyone he wanted to refuse to marry for any reason whatsoever and they had absolutely no civil or legal recourse to force Huckabee to say any magical words he didn't want to say in his Church of Huckabee. And no police are going to arrest him for the crime of not saying his words in his Church of Huckabee. But he cannot seem to understand that were the couple say two men or say two women or say two people he couldn't figure out what they were without checking their tingly parts himself, he could still refuse to marry them no differently than he can refuse now to perform his super special Huckabee approved Church of Huckabee wedding for any damn reason he wants. The man is an idiot.
