Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler suggested on Tuesday that Justice Clarence Thomas did not suggest revisiting the Supreme Court ruling that legalized interracial marriage because he himself is married to a white woman.
Debate on the House floor grew heated as the Democrat-majority chamber prepares to advance its Respect For Marriage Act, aimed at codifying same-sex marriage.
The bill is a response to Thomas' concurring opinion in the high court's decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, which saw the right to an abortion stripped out of federal law and returned to state jurisdictions.
While Justice Samuel Alito made clear in the main opinion that he was solely focused on abortion, Thomas set off alarm bells within the progressive community by suggesting the court could next revisit the landmark cases that legalized same-sex marriage, same-sex intimacy and the right for married couples to have contraception.
Nadler noted on Tuesday that Thomas 'didn't mention Loving though, for some reason - which is interracial marriage,' in reference to the 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia.
'Maybe the fact that he's intermarried, and so is Senator McConnell,' Nadler said. 'Maybe that has something to do with it.'
It's not clear what prompted him to bring McConnell into the conversation. The Kentucky Republican is married to Elaine Chao, a Chinese-American immigrant who served as Donald Trump's Secretary of Transportation.

“Marriage between a man and a woman regardless of ethnicity is still the norm for mankind. The marriage can lead to children”
Correct, and perfectly good children.
Outlawing interracial marriage — what a can of worms! Millions of people are mixed-race to begin with.
Why marry?
Suddenly a religious institution is what everybody is clamoring for but they don’t like the religious institution that it’s part of... Or any religious institutions that cekebrates snd performs marriages; so why is marrying such a big deal they’re not even Godly?
Jerry Nadler = Drift Wood
His worst enemy is gravity. It is pulling him down.
Concern troll is concerned about racial intermarriages…Nadler is just a bloody racist like the rest of the dems but will never get called on it.
Nadler... didn’t really mean to bring that up but he was thinking out loud and he might have misspoke and..
Listen... Jerry Nadler is a lawyer...
there’s an old Jewish story of two Jewish dairy farmers and one milk cow, one farmer claims the milk cow is his, the other farmer claims the milk cow is his.
They get to tugging on each end, one on the front and one on the tail and while they were involved in this serious tug-o-war a lawyer came along and milked that cow!
Jerry Nadler is the Penguin from Batman personified. An ugly evil little man. What did Rush used to say - politics is Hollywood for ugly people. Nadler is the personification of that too.
Classy. Always classy. DemonRATs are always so classy.
Right. But homosexuality is not normal, and I hope they return that awful decision which allowed them to be "married" is returned to the states also. Even California had voted that marriage should be one (biological) man & one (biological) woman.
That’s racis!
Freaking communist dimwit...
The debate is about “pervert” marriage...
There is no debate about “interracial” or “intercultural” marriage...
It’s a fake issue. There is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits interracial marriage.
Why nadless hasn’t suffered a heart attack yet is beyond me.
Do you mean the polls that are being done now, or the real vote on August 23? I’m sure he has a shot at the primary result, but then Maloney has the women, and the Upper East Side, which is in her district, is full of them. So who knows.
The West Side part of the 12th will go for Nadler.
Hard to call.
It doesn’t produce children. Yet. That is why we would outnumber them soon if it were not for the economic benefits of being gay.
ya... lets include interracial marriage with same sex marriage... these morons know no bounds...
The doc missed with the stapler; should have stapled his mouth closed instead.
I don’t think the government should have any say in any marriage.
Mr Nadler always thinks his opponents think the bad way he does.
