Lindsey Graham SLAMS Huckabee: “we’re a constitutional democracy not a theocracy.”

Listen:

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina took a big, fat swipe against his Republican presidential opponent Mike Huckabee.. Graham took issue with Governor Huckabee’s stalwart defense of Kentucky marriage license clerk Kim Davis, who was jailed after she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

In an interview with Michael Medved, Graham slammed Huckabee, saying: “we’re a constitutional democracy not a theocracy.”

Senator Graham argued that while he doesn’t believe that Kim Davis should have been thrown in jail, that “the secular law of the land is the United States Constitution.”

“All I can say is that appointing Supreme Court justices really matters, and I don’t want to lose an election we’re about to win,” said Graham to Buzzfeed. “I don’t want to be a presidential candidate that seems not to understand we’re a constitutional democracy not a theocracy.

“I can sympathize with those who feel like traditional marriage is under attack and the court is wrong,” Graham added. “But I can not say as a conservative that the court’s decision does not apply because I dislike it. I can not say as a conservative there is not a judicial interpretation of the Constitution that is supreme when it comes to how the Constitution works.”

“The judiciary has the authority to interpret the constitution. Sometimes we like it, sometimes we don’t, but conservatives are rule of law people. This is not a theocracy it’s a democracy.”

Senator Graham is polling so poorly that he will be unable to qualify for a candidate event in his own home state of South Carolina.
