I consider Protestant Fundamentalism the religion of Slavers and Segregation and Jim Crow and Voter Suppression and Misogeny.
Faith over good works, squeeze yer eyes shut real hard and believe and you can be as big an asshole and hypocrite as you want. Same for the law, a literal interpretation of the founders wishes, not the needs of the present and living, the constitution a dead document. Don't look left and don't look right, just apply the letter of the law forget the spirit, feel free to insert your personal prejudices and biases too. If you have these literal interpretations of the law, it becomes an algorithm that can be gamed, judgement is actually removed, so is social justice and truth. It leads to the kind of law that Trump rode like a horse all his life, of endless appeals for the rich, each layer up offering advantage and above all delay and expense. Humans run RIU, algorithms run face book and they are gamed and manipulated all the time, any algorithm can manipulated, reality is dynamic.
