Idaho Lawmakers Want Supreme Court to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage Decision
Briefly

Despite the U.S. Supreme Court's historical reluctance to involve itself outside formal lawsuits, Idaho lawmakers are pushing a resolution to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. This landmark 2015 ruling legalized same-sex marriage, which Idaho Republicans deem an overreach. The resolution argues that marriage regulation should be returned to states, reflecting a pro-family stance as supported by advocacy groups like MassResistance. For the resolution to proceed, it must be approved by the Idaho House and Senate, both Republican-controlled.
The Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell and restore the natural definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.
Since court rulings are not laws and only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach.
