More than 170 companies have signed their support to codify same-sex marriage at the federal level. Following the Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe v. Wade, who returned the issue of abortion to the state level under the 10th Amendment, the US Senate is preparing to vote on a bill called the “Respect for Marriage Act”.

The bill was apparently constructed in response to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who said last month: “In future cases, we should reconsider all substantive due process precedents of this Court, including Griswold, Lawrence and Obergefell. Since any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably wrong”, we have a duty to “correct the error” established in these precedents.
He then argued, “In future cases, we should “follow the text of the Constitution, which sets out certain substantive rights that cannot be taken away, and adds, beyond that, a right to due process when life, freedom or property is compromised”. removed.’ Substantive due process conflicts with this textual order and has hurt our country in many ways. Accordingly, we should eliminate it from our jurisprudence as soon as possible.

The House voted 267 to 157 to approve the Respect for Marriage Act which seeks to codify federal recognition of same-sex marriage.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has now mobilized 173 major companies to sign a letter encouraging politicians to support the passage of this new bill.
According to the HRC, the letter will be delivered to all senators nationwide and states that the signatories value diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
“Americans of all backgrounds, demographics, geographies, and partisans agree that loving, committed couples have the right to be respected and protected by law,” the letter reads. “No one, including same-sex couples and interracial couples protected by this bill, should worry that their marriage will not be recognized by the federal government or that their employment benefits will be threatened.
