What crap. You should have voted no, then. You're trying to weasel out of saying what you apparently really think.

OTOH, since a courtesy resolution by no stretch of the (rational) imagination "establishes a religion," I find that either Mr. Pence is an imbecile, or a prevaricator, or both.

What nitwittery.
