(LifeSiteNews) – In perhaps the greatest defeat conservatives have ever suffered at the hands of Republican Party, the Senate today advanced Democrats’ bill to enshrine same-sex “marriage” into federal law in a vote of 62 to 37.
Twelve Republican senators joined with all Democrats to pass the bill, the “Respect for Marriage Act,” including: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and Todd Young of Indiana.
Democrats needed the support of 10 Republicans to clear the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Today’s vote came despite the objections of many of the most prominent conservative groups in the U.S., including the Heritage Foundation, Alliance Defending Freedom, the Family Research Council, thousands of Christian churches and institutions, and the overwhelming majority of Republican voters who oppose federal legislation to codify homosexual “marriage.”
The Respect of Marriage Act makes same-sex “marriage” the law of the land, ensuring that all 50 states must recognize such unions, regardless of state laws, in the event the Supreme Court overturns its 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, which mandates legal recognition of same-sex “marriage” nationwide.

This is another reason for an Article V Convention of the States to end or severely limit the lame duck sessions of Congress. I can only imagine what’s next before Jan. 2023.
An Article V convention would be a bad idea. The delegations will likely NOT be conservative. Imagine who California and Maryland will send. There may be a handful of conservatives from WY & UT, but the rest from red states will be the usual RINOs.
Twelve (12) out-of-the-closet scumbag fellow travelers join their communist masters and commit this cultural atrocity...
All need to be on the list for purging in the next election...
Well I don’t believe that but some of them yes. Right now the Republicans are openly on the take.
Romans Ch 1. Then move on to Revelations.
Well then, that just leaves the unspoken option to reform things.
Sadly, you are likely to be right. Secession is not going to happen and we can’t expel states from the union.
“Right now the Republicans are openly on the take.”
Yep.
Wyoming and Utah were two of the Republican votes for this abomination.
Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and Todd Young of Indiana.
All voted to pass same-sex ‘marriage’ bill.
Scumbags, all !!!
Congress establishes a religion that rejects the Bible, bans free speech, and dictates association; all, aimed at destroying the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights that have stood in the way of the liberals’ grasping for power.
Wyoming and Utah were two of the Republican votes for this abomination.
Thanks. So even UT & WY are not safe from the madness. The Supreme Court is a thin reed to rely on to overturn this garbage.
The America-hating wing of the GOP is at it again.
It’s been a few years since then. They’re more inclined to kill Conservatives outright, now that the government propaganda has exacerbated any hatred toward us..
As for the unspoken remedy... who’s going to show up for our side? Sadly, IMO, too old and too few.
“Expect massive suppression and punshishment of religious liberty as a result.”
That is the primary intent of the bill.
It brings to mind the D delegates at the convention in 2008 or so, voting on God, and the master of ceremonies certified it as YEA, when it was NAY three times.
In YOUR FACE Father of the Universe, our leaders say quite proudly... Three sins at once .... PRIDE.... A false promise is a lie, so LYING and rejecting the Father who created you.
Punishment like this calls for National punishment.... We deserve no less.
” who’s going to show up for our side? Sadly, IMO, too old and too few.”
Same question: Who’s going to show up for their side?
Take a walk thru any federal bureaucracy and you have your answer:
Fat, low-IQ, affirmative action slugs who don’t know which bathroom to use.
Free Speech will be changed to Right Speech, where we all follow Big Brothers guidelines on what to say and what to think. It’s for our own good.

That change is being made right now in Ireland, and freedom of speech is now increasingly under attack in the UK as well.
