Passing a bill is exactly what the Supreme Court is asking them to do. It may not be perfect, but the Democrats should take what they can get. Having a law on the books will make any SC ruling against gay marriage harder to justify. Also, there might be just enough Republican support for this to squeak by just to prove overturning Roe wasn't some slippery slope to overturning gay marriage, contraception, and inter-racial marriage.

- jfengel 4y agoYeah, it's in the Constitution: Article IV, Section 1: Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. At the very least other states must acknowledge marriages (public act and/or record) from other states, even if that state wouldn't permit it.
