Watch as Mike Huckabee edges toward anarchy in his obtuse anti-gay extremism.Â

In a President Mike Huckabee‘s America, citizens apparently will be free to obey only the laws they agree with. Anti-discrimination laws, drug laws, tax laws, following the GOP presidential candidate’s logic, will all be subject to each individual’s whims. And, given the former Arkansas governor’s “Free Kim Davis” campaign, ignoring or disobeying laws deemed by a citizen as unjust will carry no consequence.

Huckabee presented this novel theory of jurisprudence in an interview Sunday morning with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos about his support for Kim Davis, the now-incarcerated Kentucky clerk who is refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on religious grounds.Â Â

Governor Huckabee insisted that “to say that we have to surrender to judicial supremacy is to do what Jefferson warned against, which is, in essence, surrender to judicial tyranny.”

“We had so many different presidents, including Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln — there were other founders like Hamilton, Adams — who made it very clear that the courts can’t make a law. The Constitution is expressly clear that that’s a power reserved to Congress.

“When the courts have a ruling, then it is incumbent on Congress to codify that into law and specifically delineate what that means. That hasnâ€™t happened, George.”

Of course, it’s been established for centuries that when the Supreme Court hands down a ruling, it become the law of the land. But in Huckabee’s world, that’s incorrect.

He also refused to accept the idea that bans on same-sex marriage are similar to bans on interracial marriage, suggesting that same-sex couples who marry are redefining marriage. Huckabee didn’t weigh in on if women, when they were first allowed to vote, redefined voting.

Huckabee said same-sex marriage is “a very different equation altogether because this is a redefinition. Marriage is not defined in the federal Constitution at all; itâ€™s a matter for the states. And applying the Fourteenth Amendment to the equality of men and women and their relationship in marriage is totally different than redefining marriage.”

“And I think what weâ€™ve seen here is the overreach of the judiciary. This, if allowed to stand without any congressional approval, without any kind of enabling legislation, is what Jefferson warned us about. Thatâ€™s judicial tyranny.”

Moving to the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage,Stephanopoulos if Kim Davis has a “duty to obey a legal order from the court?”

“Well, you obey it if itâ€™s right,” Huckabee answered. “So I go back to my question. Is slavery the law of the land? Should it have been the law of the land because Dred Scott said so? Was that a correct decision? Should the courts have been irrevocably followed on that? Should Lincoln have been put in jail? Because he ignored it.”

Stephanopoulos also noted that “the federal government now recognizes same-sex marriage for tax purposes. Health, Social Security and death benefits go to same-sex couples,” and asked, “would you resign rather than carry out those policies?”

Huckabee stonewalled, refused to answer, and ran out the clock.
