re: He did

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.

I did find this;

COLMES: All right, Governor, you made a statement at a rally in Michigan within the last 24 hours. You said, I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. You said, I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it'd be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do."
That makes people a little worried. It sounds like you're looking to have a theocratic state when you make statements like that...
HUCKABEE: Oh, no, Alan.
COLMES: ... going to make change in Constitution...
HUCKABEE: Not at all.
COLMES: ... in keeping with your view of God.
HUCKABEE: On two things. The context is two things, human life amendment, which I support and which has been in the Republican platform since 1980. And by the way, Fred Thompson doesn't support it, nor does John McCain. And yet it's part of our platform. And it's a very important part of our platform to say that human life is something we're going to stand for. And the second thing is traditional marriage.
So those are the two areas which I'm talking about. I'm not suggesting that we rewrite the Constitution to reflect tithing or Sunday school attendance. I want to make that very clear.

From here

I see, he wants to make two amendments to the constitution. I would like to see more on the human life amendment. I might be supportive of it.

As for the second amendment, I wouldn’t support it. I don’t think the government needs to meddle in marriages.

I don’t think he is trying to “change the constitution to match the 'Word Of God"” as James fears.
