'Good luck' prying off her wedding ring, gay attorney general tells US Supreme Court at DNC

CHICAGO − Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel had a pointed message to any Republicans, or anyone on the U.S. Supreme Court for that matter, who might be thinking about reversing same-sex marriage protections.

"You can pry this wedding ring from my cold, dead, gay hand," said Nessel, ad-libbing a line to the prepared text for a short speech she gave in support of Vice President Kamala Harris' election at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

"And I'm retaining a lot of water, so good luck."

Nessel's speech came shortly after a series of clips that showed Harris, the Democratic nominee for president and a former prosecutor, sharply questioning bureaucrats and then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh before the Senate Judiciary Committee as a U.S. senator from California.

Michigan's attorney general noted that, in 2011, Harris, then California's attorney general, refused to defend that state's same-sex marriage ban.
