In this monkeys paw time line this passes the senate and in response Texas books a Lowrance Vs Texas rematch fight that it wins.It may have a chance to pass the Senate. 2 GOP senators, Rob Portman of Ohio and Susan Collins of Maines, are cosponsors of the Senate version of the bill. At least 2 other GOP senators have said they would vote for it.
Senators expect GOP support to grow for same-sex marriage bill in bid to overcome filibuster
Also, a slim majority of registered Republicans support same-sex marriage.
Nothing. But I implore you to repent of your sins.
I would be surprised if any significant number of the republicans voting for this bill were up for reelection.
Yes.The GOP can't afford to lose too many votes.
???
Unless they are retiring, all House members are up for re-election.
I was thinking about the legislature -- the OP is one example of Congress actually (*gasp*) doing its job and writing laws to protect the rights of the people, rather than rely on SCOTUS rulings.
Shame on them for not doing this in the past regarding Roe v Wade, but at least we see they can learn from their mistakes.
Yes.
It is wise for Republicans to allow this bill to pass the Senate.
They aren’t secular. They are right from scripture.
Counting on GOP wisdom is a little too Matthew 7:26 for my liking... I'm betting the bill gets filibustered.
I expect a filibuster. I also expect 10 Republican votes in favor, probably including McConnell's.
So... not only are we counting on GOP wisdom, but on McConnell voting to stop a Republican filibuster...
I sure hope so. I guess there are enough Republicans who aren't stop the stealers to help ot squeak through.Yes.
It is wise for Republicans to allow this bill to pass the Senate.
They will likely do the same on a voting rights bill that protects the count made by voters in federal elections. Such a bill would not allow the state to certify any result other than that based on the actual votes. This bill may wait until the lame duck session in NOV or DEC.

1. it was never a rightCan you fault them for wanting it enshrined in law after all that conservative crowing of "haha, they thought they had a right that they hadnt and now we have taken that imaginary right from them!"?
No that was not at all what the "court" said, it is what one Justice said. It is simply an observation. The Court made it clear that the decision was not intended in any way to apply to anything outside of abortion.But the court made it clear that "re-examining" those decisions are next...
And now you complain that people also want to decide on same-sex marriage.1. it was never a right
2. it was not taken away
3. it has been left to the people in each state to decide.
