WASHINGTON — amid concerns that the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade abortion access could jeopardize other rights criticized by many conservative Americans.
Wary of political fallout, GOP leaders did not press their lawmakers to hold the party line against the bill, aides said. In all, 47 Republicans joined Democrats in voting for passage. Approval of interracial marriage in the U.S. hit a six-decade high at 94% in September, according to Gallup. But Republicans insisted Tuesday that the court was only focused on abortion access in June when it struck down the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade ruling, and they argued that same-sex marriage and other rights were not threatened.
For Republicans in Congress the Trump-era confirmation of conservative justices to the Supreme Court fulfilled a long-term GOP goal of revisiting many social, environmental and regulatory issues the party has been unable to tackle on its own by passing bills that could be signed into law.
I hope that the bill fails in the Senate. Marriage belongs back with the states.
Mixed -race marriage isn't synonymous with homosexuality im fucking sick of you latching gay issues to race issues. You aren't a fucking race of people you are just gay.
They are giving a nod to polygamy in Utah not support to LGBTQ+ marriage.
I’m happy about that.
proving that even a broken ass clock can be right....I supposed they'll need gold stars stuck on their foreheads now for now taking away some rights?
Utah Values = CALIFORNIA VALUES , thanks Republican RINOS
🎵Choose equal rights when the choice is placed before you. 🎶
Yay! Now let’s get to work on equal rights, women’s rights and protecting minors.
Wow ! I did not expect that
But subjugate a woman’s body—Hell yes!!!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The Federal Government has no authority over this to say it should be allowed or banned. States issue marriage licenses, not the Federal Government. Society would be better off if Government got out of the marriage business all together. Government is not needed to get married
Government control of marriage - huge fail. The state should have nothing to do with marriage.
😂😂😂😂
They know this isn't going to pass the senate. Can't think of any other reason they did the right thing.
Senator Lee should be a little worried by now.
Why do you guys always interview Gayle Ruzicka on topics like this and not someone without a clear bias? She's full of shit anyway. If the bill banned gay marriage she would be in support of it.
Gayle Ruzicka and The Eagle Forum are hateful, stop interviewing their worthless ideas.
Good.
What's in the fine print?
Did they really understand the bill?
Yes!
It’s a rare day that I can be proud of my Utah representatives. I’m thrilled!
And we get mini bottles? Tolerable.
Big “L” for Utah. Wow.
Wait, isn't Utah supposed to be a theocracy where the church owns all the legislators? Ay least that's what I've been told for the past couple of years. . . .
This isn't a retort to SCOTUS, it's how laws are supposed to be passed. All SCOTUS said was the courts don't have the authority to be the legislative branch and pass laws. If this act by SCOTUS prompts more laws being passed correctly, then it's a win for constitution.
Wow, just wow! I didn't expect that
Rare w for Utah.
They are so close minded. This is just a ploy for democrats and a waste of resources
