“Much of what the gentleman from Texas just said was irrelevant; but he made one correct point. He said that the bill before us today codifies Obergefell. It does, and if Obergefell is not overruled by the Supreme Court, it is not necessary, but it is also not harmful. If Obergefell is overruled by the Supreme Court, as Justice Thomas hints it might be, then passing this bill becomes vital. And as to recognizing marriage in one State or another State, obviously, if you get married in Texas and you go to Nevada, you don't get unmarried. You can't be married in one State and not in another State. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Garcia).”
