Mike Pence, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, speaks during Tuesday night's debate in Farmville, Va. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)Indiana Gov. Bias — particularly implicit bias — is not an exception. Although no one can say with certainty what lives in Pence's heart and mind, The Fix can say this: For Pence, some reading on implicit bias might be wise. But that of course would be racial discrimination, just as his targeting Syrian refugees is discrimination on the basis of nationality. This decision, at the very least, suggests that a federal court is not convinced that Pence knows what overt bias, much less implicit bias, really is or that bias is indeed unconstitutional when it becomes public policy.
