Republican Grills Judge Jackson On Gay Marriage Equality In Supreme Court Hearing | Queer News
Channel: Queer News Tonight

Republican US Senator John Cornyn of Texas claimed that the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision created a new right that is not in the U.S. Constitution, and he questioned the court’s authority to make the decision during the questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.  The Obergefell ruling does not require any member of the clergy to perform a wedding that contradicts their religious belief, yet Cornyn feels that it overrules people's ability to discriminate based on "sincerely held religious beliefs."  Cornyn compared Obergefell to the Dred Scott ruling where the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution did not apply to African Americans or slaves, as they did not count as citizens.
