AI Summary

  • Calls upon the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Obergefell v. Hodges decision and restore state authority to regulate marriage and its dissolution.

  • Argues that Obergefell misinterprets the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and contradicts the original meaning of liberty as understood by the Framers.

  • Asserts that marriage regulation is a state matter, citing that Mississippi voters approved a definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman in 2004 with 86% support.

  • Claims the Obergefell decision is illegitimate due to Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan having previously officiated same-sex weddings and thus lacking impartiality.

  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a certified copy of this resolution to the Supreme Court of the United States.
