Skeptical as I am of psychology and psychiatry, there needs to be a name for that kind of mental illness, something referring to Clarence Thomas would probably be appropriate. There's one that's as bad which I'd name for Peter Thiele or Lindsay Graham, too. Though it could just all be moral depravity, that's a character flaw, not a medical pathology.
