What’s the point? To make it easier for activists to sue Christians
The Senate GOP let this happen, by providing just enough votes to get it past a filibuster. They are doing the bidding of the billionaire donors who own them. Mitch let senators in safe seats or who aren’t running for re-election “take the heat” by votin to clear the filibuster
Clarence Thomas provided the proponents with an excuse by writing that the same-sex ruling should be revisited. I love the guy, but that as stupid. It accomplished nothing and only gave ammunition to the gay agenda activists
The purpose is to take it away as a potential issue in future elections. Yes, there’s a Supreme Court ruling, and it’s of a kind that won’t be overturned. But the Dems would still try to milk the issue for votes, so this is a ploy to blunt that.
If IBM wants to relocate a gay "married" executive to Idaho, they don't want to have to worry about whether or not Idaho allows gay "marriage".
Not helpful.
Interracial marriage? Democrats are evil incarnate.
The main effect is that if a marriage is valid in the state where the marriage was entered into, then it is valid in every other state. This simply enforces the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution Article IV, Section 1.
Secondarily, if the marriage is valid in the state where the marriage was entered into, then it is valid for federal purposes, e.g. filing a joint income tax return.

Leftist Rust never sleeps.
From what I seem to have gathered, it looks like a lot of Bible-believing pastors are going to be starting new prison ministry’s, not exactly of the volunteer kind.
Exactly. Clarence Thomas, the black white supremacist, just like Clayton Bigsby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLNDqxrUUwQ
Interracial marriage has been protected for decades. Nothing new there.
Homosexual “marriage” is a completely different thing. A contradiction in terms.
The Backstab Party gonna backstab.
Real conservatives should be wondering where all those knife wounds in their backs came from.
Hey, now Biden can go to bed with a horse.
"Senate passes bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriage over GOP opposition"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
From related thread...
The Supreme Court had clarified in Reid v. Covert that federal power to approve treaties cannot be used as a backdoor to expand the federal government's powers.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.
But regardless that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to regulate marriage, post-17th Amendment ratification renegade Senate Democrats and RINOs are now abusing the Constitution's full faith and credit clause by likewise trying to use it as a back door to expand the feds powers to attack the 10th Amendment-protected powers of the sovereign states to define marriage imo.
Historically speaking, regarding the full faith and credit clause, consider that at one time if you were 18 years old and living in a state where minimum drinking age is 18, and you visit a friend in a state where drinking age is 21, then your state's lower minimum drinking age did not follow you into your friend's state.
Somehow, I don’t think a partner in a gay marriage has the safety of the family as his/her first concern.
WTF was going after inter-racial marriages....answer NO F^ING ONE!!
“ e purpose is to take it away as a potential issue in future elections”
No, the gay agenda activists pushed this legislation because it will make it easier for them to sue Christian business people, schools, hospitals and adoption agencies
The GOP Senate went along because they are owned by billionaire donors who are all-in on the anti-Christian gay agenda.
From what was said on the Todd Starnes radio show an amendment to protect religious institutions from being sued for refusing to marry same sex couples was shot down.
So that tells you the likely internet of this legislation.
The point is to criminalize Christians. Thanks for asking.
Word is this is so the IRS can ya k the tax exempt status of Christian churches.
/\
Not just churches.
Any non profit corporation
that exercises 1st amendment free speech to criticize perv marriage.
you are an idiot, Thomas, a black man is married to a white woman.
