[QUOTE="grasping the after wind, post: 77070114, member: 256417"] If the Supreme Court were disposed to overturn their previous decision declaring government approved same sex marriage a right (something extremely unlikely to occur) this bill would not keep that from happening. Further, should the Supreme Court do that it would likely include the grounds that deciding who is allowed to receive government approval for a marriage is the sole purview of the individual States. In that case, his law would then be ruled unconstitutional. In reality, this law does nothing to protect same sex marriage from the actions of the Supreme Court and is simply political posturing. Admittedly I would rather that the Senate spend the rest of the year in political posturing so that nothing really dangerous passes out of that chamber while it might still have a chance to be put into law.
