“I would like to clarify the actual wording of what this bill does. It does not favor or disfavor any particular result or any group of people. It is motivated by a desire to preserve for the States the authority to decide whether the shield Congress enacted to protect them from having to accept same sex marriage licenses issued out of State will hold. There is no ill will here toward anyone. It does not dictate the results, either. It only places final authority over whether the States must accept same sex marriage licenses granted in other States in the hands of the States themselves. This bill should be supported, I believe, by any Member who supports the proposition that lifetime appointed Federal judges must not be allowed to rewrite marriage policies for the States.”
