Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Sep 15, 2022 / 15:55 pm The Senate has delayed a highly-anticipated vote to enshrine same-sex marriage into law until after the midterm elections this November.

The news was announced by lawmakers Thursday after weeks of bipartisan deliberations that left some Republicans with objections to the act’s potential religious liberty implications.

The bill, titled the Respect for Marriage Act, follows the House version that was passed earlier in July.

It is being led by Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin). and Susan Collins (R-Maine), who are working across aisles to gain at least 10 GOP Senate votes needed to pass it.

If we have 50 Republican Senators, and we can’t get 41 to vote against this, I think that would result in millions of social conservatives permanently abandoning the Republican Party.

"Susan Collins (R-Maine)"

Collins and Murkowski and Patty Murray were born to play the witches in Macbeth. Those three wore out the ugly stick. What a trio of filth!

Respect for Marriage Act?

It is exactly the opposite.

If the Defense of Marriage Act was ruled unconstitutional, would not this be?

#2: "If we have 50 Republican Senators, and we can’t get 41 to vote against this, I think that would result in millions of social conservatives permanently abandoning the Republican Party."

Yes.

How many "Catholics" will vote for homo marriage? Hopefully someone will keep a scorecard.

The purpose of this legislation is to make religions that say homosexuality is a sin illegal so they can be sued for discrimination and denying human rights, except the Muslims of course.

In a sane world, perhaps. “Constitutional” is now defined as whatever the Left wants. Any alternatives need not apply.

Reminiscent of “Defense of Marriage Act”, passed by Congress, signed by Bill Clinton, later found unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

This is not a federal matter. It belongs to the states.

I bet there are DemocRAT senators and congressmen who don’t want to vote on it before the elections.

God made the law on marriage. They can only pretend. They won’t be considered married in God’s eyes
