Mike Lee’s religious liberty amendment FAILS approval in the Senate for the ‘gay marriage act’

by The Right Scoop

The Senate failed to pass Mike Lee’s religious liberty amendment for the unconstitutional ‘gay marriage act’ by one vote.

Lee’s amendment would have guarnateed protection for the religous beliefs of people who disagree with same-sex marriage and would have been targeted for discrimination because of the parent legislation.

 
Here’s the news from Senate Press Gallery:

Senate Press Gallery also notes that while Manchin voted for the amendment, Susan Collins voted against it. And Sasse and Toomey didn’t even bother to vote:

So now we’re going to be stuck with this horrendous bill that redifines marriage and will be used as a cudgel against those of us Christians who would rather honor God’s definition of marriage in our workplaces than man’s.

And it’s all because weak-willed so-called Republicans went along with it.

But the worst of these are Portman of Ohio, Collins of Maine, and Tillis of North Carolina. They are the ones who joined with three Democrats on a ‘religious liberty amendment’ that doesn’t have any teeth.

I knew when they agreed on this amendment that it wasn’t a serious effort to protect Christians and Lee’s amendment failing to pass proves the point emphatically.
