A Come to Jurist Moment

Mike Pence has had his come to jurist moment. Years after his former boss riled up a crowd so much that they sought to kill the Veep, the former fawner in chief has finally exchanged the sycophantic schmalz for a set of balls and said, “Let’s be clear on this point. It wasn’t just that they asked for a pause. The president specifically asked me, and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me, to literally reject votes.” And with that, Pence has become the star witness—now in public, soon in court. That will serve his legacy well. It probably won’t help his campaign much. NYT (Gift Article): Mike Pence has reached his fork in the road. Neither fork leads to a electoral bliss, but at least it’s not a pitchfork.
