US President Joe Biden signed the Marriage Respect Act and said on the 13th, "Today is a good day. It is a day when America is taking an important step toward equality, freedom and justice for all, not just some."
On the 13th, President Yoon Seok-yeol announced at a cabinet meeting the rule of law to protect freedom, saying, "We cannot stand with those who want to eliminate freedom, and those who use false incitement and threats."
President Yoon said at the cabinet meeting that day, "It is possible to negotiate or compromise with those who agree that the basic value of our community is freedom," and "the rule of law is a system in which everyone can enjoy freedom together."
President Biden said at the White House South Lawn signing ceremony on the 13th, "This law and the love it advocates strikes at all forms of hatred," and said, "That's why this law is important to all Americans."
Bloomberg reported in the title of <Biden Signs Same-Sex Marriage Bill in 'Important Step' for Equality>, "Strengthening federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriage into law and giving Democrats a victory."
The Washington Post reported that President Biden said, "The day America takes a major step towards equality, freedom and justice is for everyone, not just some. To create a nation where decency, dignity and love are recognized, respected and protected." “It was reported as saying.
President Yoon said, "Democracy and republicanism are also manifested by the rule of law," and "If a country that should be held accountable for law violations neglects this, it is denying freedom in our society and neglecting the socially underprivileged." .
President Yoon continued, "Those who want to break free democracy constantly instigate lies to fool the public, or if that doesn't work, they try to scare them with violence. We must never compromise with these forces." "If we can't catch it, it's not a country. To preserve liberal democracy, we must value the truth. That's why we entrust state affairs to experts, not demagogues."
In particular, President Yoon said, "Preserving freedom and establishing the rule of law are the highest values of state administration that must be observed in all aspects, including security, economy, science, education, society and culture, as well as maintaining social order."
President Biden said the reason for signing the Respect for Marriage Act was that “the choice of who to marry is one of the most profound decisions a person can make.”
The New York Times titled “When Freedom Means Freedom to Oppress Others” on the same day, “Jefferson Cowie’s powerful and sobering new history, ‘Liberty Reigns,’ explores the rhetoric of freedom and white supremacy in Alabama County. Tracing the close connection between state politics”.
In an article in the NYT, “Ralph Waldo Emerson said that right after the Civil War, Americans were ‘liberty fanatics, they hate laws other than tolls, taxes, turnpikes, banks, hierarchies, and governors. It should come as no surprise that Wallace called for freedom in almost every line of his inaugural address. The speech became notorious for its call for “separation now.” ‘Separation tomorrow… Forever Separation’ constantly focused on Wallace’s thoughts of freedom.”
Jefferson Cowie is the author of The Reign of Freedom: The Saga of White Resistance to Federal Power.
