Bipartisan Respect for Marriage Act introduced in Congress today
Texas’ U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz — aka “Cancun Cruz” — was busy polishing up his Texas GOP Bigot Club membership badge by declaring the U.S.
Supreme Court “clearly” was in error with its 2015 Obergefell ruling that legally recognized marriage equality nationwide.
Meanwhile, actual statesmen and stateswomen were busy in the U.S. Congress trying to make sure marriage equality is protected from the whims of a SCOTUS gone rogue.
U.S. Sens. Tammy Baldwin Wisconsin and Diane Feinstein of California, both Democrats, along with Maine Republican Susan Collins today (Monday, July 18) announced the introduction of the Respect for Marriage Act, which would “repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, enshrine marriage equality for the purposes of federal law and provide additional legal protections for marriage equality,” according to a press release from Baldwin’s office.
