Respect for Marriage Act
Manage episode 347897800 series 3343405
Today we are talking about the Respect for Marriage Act, what it does/doesn't do, what cloture is, why the bill is important, and my thoughts about the bill. I definitely find myself agreeing with people who argue that the bill, though flawed in many respects, is worth working on and passing. What we cannot do, however, is give up after passing it because there is a lot more work that needs to be done. So please stay in the fight even after this bill passes (which looks very likely).
I cited this article by Mark Joseph Stern in the episode. I love reading what he has to say, both on Slate and on Twitter. If you are interested in legal news, I recommend reading what he writes and following him on Twitter.
Charlotte Clymer is a veteran and trans activist who has a great Substack. She has one recent essay called "I Hate the Senate Bill and We Need It to Pass" that is a really good read. I also follow her on both Twitter and Instagram and find she is well worth following both for her insights and for her wit.
