What's the point of constitutional 'originalism' and biblical literalism? To pretend the decisions make themselves. To pretend to be entirely submitting to authority or following the rules.
In other words, it's abdicating authority. Avoiding responsibility. Skirting culpability. And shedding risk. Shedding risk by lying. The point is not to follow the rules. And to do so with impunity.
They are claiming the agency is not theirs. They are only following orders. They are applying rules or administering justice. They are the agents of God. They were chosen. And we were not.
