What do Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Shelley Moore Capito, Cynthia Lummis, Rob Portman, Dan Sullivan, Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, and Todd Young have in common besides being Republican Senators? All 12 voted to support a bill in the Senate to protect same sex marriage. Two of those senators were from North Carolina (Burr and Tillis) and two were from Alaska (Murkowski and Sullivan). Iowa, Indiana, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Missouri were also represented.
Marco Rubio, who didn’t vote for the bill, said “I don’t know why we’re doing that bill; there’s no threat to its status in America.” John Cornyn of Texas said the Democrats were trying to scare people into thinking “that somehow that decision by the Supreme Court is in jeopardy. I don’t believe it is.”
Last year I might have agreed with Rubio and Cornyn. That was before the Dobbs decision. Who knows what precedents the Court will overrule?
