Marriage equality bill clears another vote despite lobbying by Ted Cruz and GOP senators
An additional 21 senators including Cruz and Texas Sen. John Cornyn signed the letter.
The U.S. House passed the Respect for Marriage Act in July, which offers protections for same-sex and interracial marriages by requiring states to recognize marriages legally performed in other states. It also repeals the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.
Cruz has also blasted the bill in recent episodes of his podcast. Last week, he said the right to same-sex and interracial marriage is protected and unlikely to be reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. He said in the decision to reverse Roe vs. Wade, the majority opinion led by Justice Samuel Alito explicitly wrote the court would not reconsider cases like Obergefell.
