Introduced as part of Democrats’ fear-mongering efforts over the U.S. Supreme Court, the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” would repeal the longstanding (but unenforced) Defense of Marriage Act, which recognized marriage as a man-woman union in federal law and protected states’ rights to do the same; federally recognize any “marriage” lawfully performed by any state; and force every state to recognize any “marriage” of any other state “between two individuals” without regard for “the sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of those individuals.”

Notably, those conditions on marriage recognition only apply to states, not to the federal government. In other words, the bill would force the federal government to recognize any definition of marriage a state might come up with in the future, sight unseen.

But instead of whipping votes against this naked blend of Democrat base-pandering and LGBT future-proofing of cultural transformation, House Republican leaders Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise gave their members permission to support it … and 47 of 211 House Republicans did just that, including Liz Cheney, Darrell Issa, Adam Kinzinger, Nancy Mace, and Elise Stefanik.
