“It is a tenant of my faith that the Constitution is divinely inspired.”
– Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R)
From his statement, I infer that Bowers is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The religion formerly known as Mormonism.

It’s good that Bowers spoke out forcefully today against the failed pressure tactics by the Trump campaign. But just as kings, despite their claims to a throne, were never appointed by God, I forcefully reject the idea that the Constitution of the United States was divinely inspired.
Bowers insisted that Rudy Giuliani provide proof of voter fraud, which Rudy couldn’t do, because it never existed. In contrast, Bowers doesn’t require proof that the Constitution was divinely inspired. He accepts it simply as a matter of faith.
Many Evangelical Christians, who don’t consider Mormonism to be a valid religion, also believe that God played a role in the drafting of the Constitution. We’re supposed to think that He went back and said, “Oh, wait! I have a few more Commandments to add, but let’s call them Amendments, okay?” This sort of dangerous nonsense was one of the reasons why I abandoned my own faith before graduating from college.
ditto. except for the part about leaving.
