During a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Pam Bondi assured that she would respect marriage equality, stating, 'I will respect the law. Absolutely.' This response comes against her contentious history as Florida Attorney General where she defended a state ban on same-sex marriages, hammering a distinction between her role to enforce state laws while recognizing the judicial establishment of marriage equality by the Supreme Court in 2015.
Sen. Adam Schiff highlighted the importance of marriage equality during the confirmation hearing, emphasizing its significance to many Californians and individuals across the nation. He pointedly asked Bondi, 'Will you respect their marriage? Will you respect marriage equality?' prompting her response that confirmed her commitment to upholding the law, reflecting a potentially pivotal shift in her stance on LGBTQ+ rights.
