Mick Huckabee: POTUS can ignore SCOTUS rulings

Huckabee Vows To Ignore Gay Marriage Ruling: The 'Supreme Court' Is Not The 'Supreme Being'

Quote:

Republican presidential candidate Mick Huckabee insisted on Sunday that the president of the United States would not have to follow a ruling that struck down bans on same-sex marriage because the Supreme Court was not the "Supreme Being." "You seemed to indicate that as president, you wouldn't necessarily obey court rulings, even the Supreme Court," Fox News host Chris Wallace pointed out during an interview on Sunday. "We have operated under the principle of judicial review since the Marbury v. Madison case in 1803."

So according to Mikey here, the POTUS doesn't have to follow SCOTUS rulings that he (or she) doesn't agree with. I'm sure he'd stick to that position if President Obama decided to disregard Heller and/or McDonald and started messing with gun rights.

Ah GOP; how you entertain us. Please continue. This is the best:

"Presidents have understood that the Supreme Court cannot make a law, they cannot make it, the legislature has to make it, the executive branch has to sign it and enforce it," Huckabee said. "And the notion that the Supreme Court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government."
