In 2022, Congress passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which legalized same sex marriage in federal law.
If the Supreme Court overturned its decision on same sex marriage, it would mean that there’s no constitutional right for same sex marriage. But that federal law would still be there. Same sex marriage would still be legal in this country because of that federal law.
“Same sex marriage would still be legal in this country because of that federal law.”
Get rid of that law too.
The current Congress would not repeal it so get rid of them too.
All of this could have easily been avoided by a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage when the iron was still hot in the 1990's. Republican leaders promised us this route if the courts "got out of hand." Well, we're way past that point. We've been betrayed.
Where does the constitution give the Fed the power to legislate on marriage?
True but SCOTUS has bucked congressional legislation
Isn’t the only bona fide wall against judiciary branch constitutional amendments
With this seriously unprecedented lawfare we are seeing what the limits are
I’m not sure anyone knows honestly
Somebody educate me
*I* do not have to recognize same sex marriage, and neither does anyone else.
The Federal Govt has no say in marriage laws. Centuries of States having their own regulations and laws on the subject are proof of that. Put that Federal D^^K back in its holster, and abide by the spirit and the meaning of the clear writings of our Founding Fathers.
Libtard States can allow marriages of perverts, and sane States can ban it. Like abortion, it is a State issue.
