The Respect for Marriage Act, lauded by Schumer as a 'momentous step' for LGBTQ rights, is getting criticism from some of the left for not going far enough.
. There, he said that in light of the decision to let states decide abortion, the court should also"reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents," including thecase that took same-sex marriage out of the hands of states and said it is a right guaranteed by the Constitution.No other justices joined Thomas.
Supporters of same-sex marriages were forced to compromise on a bill that will soon be signed into law by President Biden. Tim Schultz, president of the 1st Amendment Partnership, told Fox News Digital that the passage of RMA is about"political realism," and that both sides had to cede some ground in order to turn the language into law. Schultz noted that the bill doesn’t go as far as banning states from making gay-marriage illegal, and includes an amendment by Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., aimed at protecting religious liberty.
"The interest groups on the left I think are begrudgingly admitting that these religious protections had to be in the bill to pass," Schultz said."Some of them are saying that’s an affirmative good. Others are saying are saying, ‘Well, I guess this is what you have to do to attract Republicans.’ I’m not saying they feel religious liberty in their soul."
