Senators and Congressonal respresenttives also through their weight behind the proposal.

A total of 211 lawmakers — 167 House members and 44 senators — penned their name to the 38-page filing, which argues state prohibitions on gay nuptials are unconstitutional for the same reasons the Supreme Court ruled against the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013.
