Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, the number 3 Republican in terms of leadership in the House, told The Daily Caller he thinks the self-executing rule is unconstitutional, and then admits he used it himself three times (via Steve Benen)
The Daily Caller: Yesterday you said the self-executing rule was unconstitutional. Is that correct?
Mike Pence: Well I think it’s probably unconstitutional. I know that there are leading legal scholars who believe it is unconstitutional. My background in law and constitutional issues suggests to me it’s unconstitutional.
The DC: My question is, though, that Democrats say you voted for self-executing rules yourself on three occasions.
MP: Yeah, sure.
This is what passes for Republican Congressional leadership.
