Pete Guither's definitions

sadomoralist

An official with power who derives pleasure from inflicting personal moral judgments on others. A sadomoralist obsessively promotes punishment, often through the criminalization of personal behavior, and will not even consider alternative approaches, or evidence of the ineffectiveness or harm of punishment.
The Congressman is a sadomoralist who is convinced that marijuana is immoral, and is thrilled by the arrests of medical marijuana patients.
