excellent article.

The remarks by Thornburgh are particularly on target:

Supporting original constitutional interpretation while seeking amendments shows an element of cognitive dissonance, said former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh.

“It seems a bit inconsistent to be sure,” Thornburgh, who served during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, told POLITICO. “But there’s no sanction against holding opposing ideas.”

It’s about power.

The people in the GOP believe that they have lost their power. ‘Once upon a time’ good White Christians and Capitalists made the U.S. great and rich. Then they lost their power to people who weren’t these things.

So if things return to the way they were they will get their power back and America will be great again.

Reminds me of people who declare the inerrancy of the Bible, which they only know in imperfect translation, but which nonetheless is the literal word of God.

So, why are there two creation stories back to back?
Why are there now more than one version of the Ten Commandments? Which one is true — the Hebrew one? The Catholic one? The Protestant one?
And so on.

It’s a good thing that God wrote things in such a crystal clear way so that true believers can know every nuanced meaning just by memorizing it.

“The King James Bible was good enough for Jesus and it’s good enough for me.”
