Bill to prevent males from women's sports receives no support from Senate Dems: Who were they?
2025-03-05
[FoxNews] The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act failed to clear a procedural hurdle.

No Senate Democrat on Monday voted in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would keep biological males from competing in women’s and girls’ sports.

A procedural vote took place on the Senate floor and Republicans needed at least 60 votes to break the filibuster. They received 51. Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., voted with Democrats.

Four senators were absent – Democrats Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan, and Peter Welch, of Vermont, and Republicans Shelley Capito, of West Virginia, and Cynthia Lummis, of Wyoming.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., gave a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

"Simply put: it’s not the federal government’s place to tell state and local sports leagues across the country how to do their jobs," she said. "I for one trust our state and local leagues to craft thoughtful policy where parents and players can be involved in the discussion about what is best for our children without interference from the President or Congress."

Then riddle me this, how can the SCOTUS say a same-sex union is a marriage?
