The United States Constitution never uses the word "God" or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from "We the People." However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it's time to put an end to that.

"I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution," Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. "But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

The U.S. Supreme Court turned away an appeal that sought to give terminally ill people greater access to experimental drugs that may save their lives.

The justices, without comment, rebuffed a patient-advocacy group that said the Food and Drug Administration is placing unconstitutional obstacles in the way of people who have exhausted their approved treatment options.

The Abigail Alliance is named after Abigail Burroughs, who died in 2001 at age 21 after an 18-month battle with head and neck cancer. In the months before Abigail died, her family unsuccessfully sought access to Erbitux, an ImClone Systems Inc. cancer drug that was undergoing clinical testing and had been recommended by her oncologist. The FDA approved the drug in 2004.
