Pence thought religious freedom would be his ticket to the White House. May still back into it, but not looking like a great long term bet for the future. Gay rights are a done deal, but thought religious freedom would have a solid shelf life. Thought transgender bathroom issues would simmer even longer, but HB2 may also blow up on McCrory.

Federal Court Blocks Gov. Pence's Attempt To Bar Syrian Refugees From Indiana

In a unanimous opinion, the appeals court said Gov. Pence acted illegally in accepting federal money for refugee resettlement and then refusing to use that money to aid Syrian refugees.

The panel rejected Pence's argument that terrorists are posing as Syrian refugees to gain entry into the U.S., calling it a "nightmare speculation" based on no evidence. Indeed, the court said, the state presented no evidence that any Syrian refugee had been involved in a terrorist act in the U.S.

Writing for the court, Judge Richard Posner called Pence's argument "the equivalent of his saying (not that he does say) that he wants to forbid black people to settle in Indiana not because they're black but because he's afraid of them, and since race is therefore not his motive, he isn't discriminating."

I get the feeling Mike Pence is worried that Trump saw the article about his shadow campaign for 2020.

Non-denial denials are somewhat of an art form. And he got to be mean to the NYT.

Why, did they broadcast it on TV or have a bot tweet it?
