Russert: It has been documented in several sources that you were willing to release felons early who have been "Born Again." Would you be willing to release a Muslim convert who professes Allah while in prison or a convict who has converted to Mormonism? If not, would it be fair to describe this as a religious test?
Huckabee: Tim, Look we need to bring hope to this campaign and learn that we are all brothers. I intend to bring Hope to the White House.
Russert: So would it be a religious test to release someone from prison based on their faith?
Huckabee: Look I hate religious tests. That's why I dropped out of Divinity school! (light hearted laughter.) Besides, I don't think Article 5 of the Constitution forbids me from giving compassion to the destitute.
