The federal government has no business recognizing anyone's marriage.

Not worth the shit paper it's written on. It won't survive challenges through to the SCOTUS.

Quoted: /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/5ddc336bfd9db244c913783d-460.gif ETA - I guess Congress does whatever they feel like these days. View Quote it always did |

I firmly belive that any consenting adult human has the right to marry any other consenting adult human in the us legal system and be just as miserable as heterosexual people, and just as frustrated in divorce.
Maybe now that we got that out of the way, maybe congress can do something about the 20% inflation. |

Specifically, the bill repeals and replaces provisions that define, for purposes of federal law, marriage as between a man and a woman and spouse as a person of the opposite sex with provisions that recognize any marriage that is valid under state law. (The Supreme Court held that the current provisions were unconstitutional in United States v. Windsor in 2013.) The bill also repeals and replaces provisions that do not require states to recognize same-sex marriages from other states with provisions that prohibit the denial of full faith and credit or any right or claim relating to out-of-state marriages on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin. (The Supreme Court held that state laws barring same-sex marriages were unconstitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015; the Court held that state laws barring interracial marriages were unconstitutional in Loving v. Virginia in 1967.) The bill allows the Department of Justice to bring a civil action and establishes a private right of action for violations. |

Was this the vote for cloture or the actual vote? Sorry to ask but I went to rantingly and the link there said they were voting on Thursday.

Quoted: Cliff notes? View Quote The amendment that got it to pass basically says it doesn't apply to polygamy or force any private institution to conduct a marriage. So, this is going to be a GREAT money maker for event venues that border a state that tries to reban gay marriage. If Ohio tries anything here, I'm going to start running p3590's wedding venue, conveniently located at a rustic lake cottage 8 miles from the OH-MI border. |

Having it struck down by SCOTUS will likely make it impossible to retry. Which is why they attached gun stuff to it, to kill it dead.

Quoted: Its actually a pretty concise bill. Basically, if you're married anywhere in the country, for federal purposes, you're married. If your married in a different state, said state has to respect the marriage laws in place at the time, in the jurisdiction you were married in. The amendment that got it to pass basically says it doesn't apply to polygamy or force any private institution to conduct a marriage.

I don't believe you're that stupid. You didn't think that congress would include a provision protecting some aspect of adults marrying children in this? I sure did. |
