Democrats Move To Codify Same Sex Marriage But MUST Do More

Senator Chuck Schumer does not want to take The Respect For Marriage Act to the Senate floor unless Democrats are sure it will pass after the legislation has passed in the House. The Majority Report crew discuss how Democrats delaying a vote on the bill allows for Republicans to have room to strategize voting. The crew mentions how passing a bill through the Senate is difficult because of the filibuster. The MR talk about why codifying same-sex marriage is crucial with the current Right-leaning Supreme Court and Justice Thomas Clarence’s remarks in his opinion regarding the overturning of Roe v Wade.

It is the Respect For Marriage Act, and that would codify federal protections for same-sex couples that were put in place in 2015 when the Supreme Court ruled on it. 47 republicans voted yes in the House, so it passed with some bipartisan support Now it goes to the Senate. McConnell won't say if he supports it or not, but you already have four yes on the Republican side: Susan Collins...
