Hawley is facing conservative backlash after raising concerns with President Donald Trump’s nominee to a high-profile appeals court.

(MISSOURINET) – Missouri’s U-S Senator Josh Hawley will not support making same sex marriage a federal civil right. He says it should be up to the states.
The Senate vote will happen in the next few weeks, Senate leaders say, with support of some Republicans. Supporters say the Roe-Vs-Wade overturn in the US Supreme Court makes its marriage decisions vulnerable.
