It's the season for Republican presidential candidates to fluff evangelical conservatives. This means exceptionally blowhardish speeches delivered to packed rooms of unapologetic theocrats, speeches in which we all get an earful of just what the candidates would do to the rest of us—the insufficient believers—if they were put in charge. For one thing, Mike Huckabee says, we'd make it clear who's really in charge around here.

"I respect the courts, but the Supreme Court is only that -- the supreme of the courts. It is not the supreme being. It cannot overrule God," he said. "When it comes to prayer, when it comes to life, and when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, the court cannot change what God has created."

And whose interpretation of God should we exclusively listen to on these weighty subjects? Yours or mine? Oh, yours and yours alone?

Yeah, piss off.
