Overheard in Domestic Committee 03/16/15

On the topic of marriage:

"If we were to change the definition of marriage in this bill, we would first need to call up Merriam Webster and have them change the definition" -Marsha

"Are you saying Merriam Webster is an authority on legal definitions?" -Steny Hoyer

"When it comes to the definition of the word, yes." -Marsha

"Did you see that there are two other definitions which don't specify marriage between a man and a woman?" -Steny Hoyer

"Those are the short definitions" -Marsha


Potpourri (all Marsha):

"I don't want to go into the biological issue right now...but I think we can all imagine it in our heads. This seems a little childish."

"Thank you congresswoman Slaughter, my ACTUAL friend from across the aisle."


On the topic of sex change surgery:

"Is the congresswoman saying we should make people get the costly and dangerous surgeries to be able to qualify for the gender categories of marriage?" -Louise Slaughter

"Well, you guys covered it under the bill you voted in, Obamacare, so yes, if it's covered." -Marsha
