Can any of the right wingers explain why the constitutional guarantees to a trial in the location where the crime was committed, do not apply?

Please read article 3 section 2 of the US Constitution. The right to a trial in the location of the crime is not restricted to citizens.

Elected officials take an oath to preserve protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That is exactly what the Obama administration is doing, despite the partisan ranting of the far right who profess allegiance to the constitution but toss it in the trash can whenever doing so might prove to be politically advantageous.

Having researched his time in AR for myself rather than accepting the word of people who have an agenda, it is clear that Huckabee is a man with an impeccable executive resume.

He did not put a steeple on the state house in Arkansas & he did not preach to the people he governed. He is open about his beliefs to those who ask, but he has NEVER pushed them on anyone.

Nor would he since he believes, as do the vast majority of Christians, that it is not only counter-productive, but wrong to do so - as Christianity holds that the free will of man is endowed by his Creator & grants man a certain self-determining dignity that is to be respected & upheld.

Huckabee cleared out a lot of the bureaucratic bloat & improved efficiency in AR - no mean feat. Despite the smears, the only things he spent money on were exactly the things people WANT the govt. to attend to - things like improving children's health, education & necessary road improvements.

He served with a totally partisan Democrat legislature (who literally nailed his office door shut) & yet managed to turn a painful deficit around into a very impressive surplus during his time in office. This is why he was picked as one of the Top 5 governors in the country by Time magazine - hardly a group of religious fanatics hoping to usher in a theocracy.

In fact, one wonders how our country survived with so many devout Christians as president before - or are we to seriously believe that the same Christianity that served as the founding principles for our Democratic Republic has suddenly become its greatest threat? It is virtually oxymoronic.

Huckabee is a principled man who genuinely cares & loves his country more than his resume - a statesman rather than a politician -- & is exactly what our country needs to turn things around & move us back into a positive direction.

Mike Huckabee sells fear to the American people via his religious standing. he didnt make the presidency because he didnt have enough money. he didnt make it because he tries to enforce christian views into politics and thats a violation of our first amendment. not to mention hes a bit of a nutcase and most people can see through his bologna.
