> As both an ordained UCC minister and a member of the Supreme Court 
> bar, I take both religion and the law seriously. However, both have 
> been distorted by ultra-conservatives. Using the bogus theory of 
> “originalism” (just do what the Founders wanted) and adding a claim 
> that the Bible contains all the policy answers you need has lead to an 
> incredibly dangerous atmosphere. Congress and the Courts have become 
> corrupted. Sadly, what is going on with COVID-19 may help prove that 
> point.
