Just imagine the debates between Carson and Clinton
Carson said he would love it if Roe v Wade were overturned. Didn't hear that he would make sure everyone has more guns. He is in favor of the second amendment.

I don't recall him say that, as President, he would ban abortion or provide everyone with guns or more guns. I have heard him speak of adhering to the Constitution. So, I would assume he knows, as President, he would not have the power to do such things. On the other hand, Hillary has promised, as President, to do things which would not be in her Constitutionally appointed power to do. Most likely that Progressive idea of the Imperial Presidency.

When did Carson say that Muslims shouldn't have the same rights as other American citizens? He has pointed out that Islamic law is not compatible to our Constitutional law. And that a faithful Muslim could not truthfully protect and defend the Constitution as the oath of office would demand. But would have to as a matter of faith subvert the Constitution when it conflicted with Islamic law. Islam is a governmental system as well as a religion.

Do "other American citizens" have the right to subvert the Constitution when it conflicts with their faith or preferred system of government?

On the other hand, again, Progressives and Socialists do believe their preferred system of government does trump the Constitution. So they might find it strange that a Presidential candidate would not want someone who would impose their religion or preferred system of government when it conflicted with the Constitution. The Progressives and Socialists do so on a regular basis.
