The House passed Respect for Marriage Act today and President Biden will sign it soon. But the moment folks are talking about is below.


According to The Advocate: Anti-LGBTQ+ U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri started crying on the House floor Thursday as she begged her fellow representatives to vote against the Reflect for Marriage Act, which will write marriage equality into federal law. “I’ll tell you my priorities,” said Hartzler, a Republican. “Protect religious liberty. Protect people of faith. And protect Americans who believe in a true meaning of marriage. I hope and pray that my colleagues find the courage to join me in opposing this misguided and this dangerous bill.” She teared up toward the end of her remarks.

What the hell is she crying about? How can she even have the gall to cry as if someone is doing wrong to her? As evil as that woman has been to LGBTQ people throughout the years, she has got one hell of a nerve. Let me put it this way. There are people who don't like LGBTQ folks and then there are people simply can't stand us. And based on Hartzler' s legislative career, she simply could not stand us. I would venture to say that if given the chance, Anita Bryant would have pulled her aside to tell her to lighten up on LGBTQ people.

To put it in ghetto terms, it seemed at times that Hartzler simply lived to fuck with us.
 
This will be going to the Supreme Court, no doubt about it.

Instead of violating state sovereignty with these damaging laws from the federal government we need government completely out of marriage. No government handouts for just being married and then everyone can married how they like and wherever they want.


What we have is another proposed law that gives one group of people special rights over others.


Quote: IT VIOLATES LARGE-SCALE FREEDOMS
Another big problem with the amendment is that there’s not a single word protecting people’s freedom of speech and freedom of conscience in the form of state laws and elections. Voting is free speech. You can’t be legally forced to vote against your conscience. If the people across the state were to vote in favor of a state constitutional amendment or a particular law, that’s an expression of free speech. The Respect for Marriage Act threatens to strike down any competing state-level constitutions or laws, never minding the voice and conscience of the people who voted that legislation into existence.

Article 4, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution would like to have a word with you, sir....
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

At its' core the Full Faith & Credit Clause is there in the Constitution to ensure that states recognize the judgments and decisions of other states without going through the process of re-litigating them, one of the things that helps bind the several states together in the union that is America. Quoting the Heritage Foundation's Guide,
although the Court has largely backed away from policing state choice-of-law decisions, it has imposed stringent requirements regarding recognition and enforcement of sister-state judgments. Practical interests usually require each state to recognize and enforce almost all final court judgments rendered by sister states, even those that offend the public policy of the enforcing state. Pursuant to Congress’s implementing statute of the Full Faith and Credit Clause, the enforcing state’s courts must give judgments at least as much effect as the rendering state would. Nonetheless, states can still apply their own statutes of limitations when enforcing judgments by other states’ courts, and state administrative decisions that are not reviewed by a court are not entitled to respect in other states.
All the Respect for Marriage Act does, Serafin, is ensure that if, for instance, a same-sex married couple moves from one state to another, the second state must recognize their marriage license for purposes of law even if the state will not issue similar licenses.

So instead of pulling stuff out of your ass on topics of this nature, Serafin, how 'bout just doing a little basic reaserch and going from there, m'kay?
 
If he can't pull from his ass, he's out of options...
Well, there is one other option for such a delicate soul....

All that does is violate the constitution to tell the states to do this.

Again going to the Supreme Court and if you’re not careful could reverse gay marriage. I don’t want it to reverse gay marriage at this point. I’d rather reverse government in marriage of any kind.

Oh and you didn’t show anything where he is wrong about the wording of the bill and how it doesn’t affect free speech. But instead threw up a part of the constitution you have literally no understanding of but do a good job of making up shit about.

You are the poster child for pulling shit out of your ass from this post.
