He Walked Straight Into This: morality

He starts by agreeing with a simple principle: You don’t punish people for crimes they didn’t commit. Then we open the Bible.

 In 2 Samuel 24, 70,000 people die for David’s actions. In 2 Samuel 12, an innocent child suffers and dies, and David’s wives are handed over as punishment for his sin. Same principle. Same standard. Suddenly… different answer. 

Watch what happens when the moral rule he just agreed to collides with the text he’s defending. This is what it looks like when a belief system forces you to abandon your own moral instincts.

As Trump appointees flout the Hatch Act, civil servants who get caught get punished - The Washington Post

A Defense Logistics Agency employee was suspended for 30 days without pay last fall after giving his office colleagues a PowerPoint presentation that displayed the words, “Vote Republican.” An Energy Department worker was forced to resign in January after admitting she gave a woman running for Congress a tour of a federal waste treatment plant so the candidate could show her expertise to potential voters. Another civil servant began a 120-day suspension without pay from the Food and Drug Administration in July after creating a Facebook page with his name and photograph to solicit political donations and then co-hosting a fundraiser. These were some of the recent consequences for federal workers who illegally mixed government employment with partisan politics in violation of the Hatch Act, the anti-corruption law Congress passed in 1939. ....
