LGBT News Delay tactics slow Texas House on anti-gay marriage bill as key deadline looms

Huh, I was wondering how this bill would 'work': You can't just choose to follow the Supreme Court on cases you agree with, and ignore those you don't.

Reading further: "An effort by Texas Republicans to defy the U.S. Supreme Court if gay marriage is legalized hung in limbo Thursday, as Democrats tried to run out the clock on a bill that would prohibit government employees from issuing wedding licenses to same-sex couples."

So the strategy is to go a step beyond all the other ways they've made it illegal, as if to be clever. And yet I doubt this would stand any chances of actually holding up on appeal; just another delay tactic, wasting time and money.

For all their fiscal-mindedness, it'd be curious to see how much the Republicans have spent or cost in court resources to try to stop gay marriage, and LGBT rights generally.

 

I really hope the clock runs out.
