More Huckabee lack of understanding. See how many errors in understanding the function of the Supreme Court you can find in this pearl of stupidity.

"Getting a decision from the court, it's not tantamount to saying 'well that settles it. It's the law of the land.' And when I hear people say that I just cringe and I'm thinking 'How many people pass 9th grade civics?' This is not that complicated. There are three branches of government, not one. We don't like it if the executive branch overreaches and pretends that it can act in difference to the other two. And neither can we sit back and allow the court, one branch of government to overrule the other two. And so when a court rules that same sex marriage is okay, it doesn't mean that the next day, marriage licenses should be issued for same sex couples. It simply means that if the legislature agrees with that court decision and the representatives of the people—the elected officials—if they then put that into legislation and it is signed and enforced by the executive branch, then you have same sex marriage. But until those other two branches act, what you have is a court opinion and nothing else."

Somebody send Huckabee that 9th grade textbook as he slept through the class. Tell him that what the Supreme Court says is exactly the law of the land. And if the Court bases its decision on the Constitution the only mechanism to change the law of the land is to amend the constitution or get a new case on the same issue before the court. If it is based on non-constitutional issues but interpretation of statute, then a new statute passed by the legislature and signed by the executive branch can alter the law of the land. And until that happens the decision of the court is the law. Period. But you knew that from school.

And what the ... does this GOP frontrunner mean by the court giving people "the civil right to be a homosexual" I didn't know that people needed the court to grant them a right to be the way they are born. Soon the court might give people the right to be black or even to be a woman. Who knows what the court might come up with next. Good thing the decision of the court doesn't mean anything until the other branches of government agree.
