Huckabee: "...amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards..."

Apparently, he thinks the framers of the Constitution were a bunch of godless, amoral heretics whose work needs to be improved in God's eyes.

Here's the full quote in all it's fundamentalist glory...

"[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, 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 is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards," Huckabee said, referring to the need for a constitutional human life amendment and an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

Can someone tell me how this mindset differs from the Islamic clergy who seek to bring Iran's government closer to their God's standards?
