David French:
"But what if you violate the Golden Rule? Is there a consequence for failing to love thy neighbor as thyself?
At this moment in American history it seems as if a substantial portion of America’s ruling class is putting all its chips on the answer being no, rules are for suckers.
Nolan's retelling of “The Odyssey” is an admonition: Moral transgressions always carry a consequence."

From a ProPublica article from October 2025 on Russell Vought, the "Shadow President." Vought: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” There is no Zeus's law or Golden Rule in this White House. https://www.propublica.org/article/russ-vought-trump-shadow-president-omb #UsPol 2/n
