AI Summary

  • South Dakota House Concurrent Resolution urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide

  • Argues the decision conflicts with the Constitution by misinterpreting the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause and undermining state authority to regulate marriage

  • Cites South Dakota's 2006 voter initiative defining marriage as only between one man and one woman, which the resolution claims was improperly overridden

  • Contends the decision was illegitimate because Justices Ginsburg and Kagan had officiated same-sex weddings and should have recused themselves under 28 U.S.C. § 455

  • Calls on the Supreme Court to revisit and overturn the precedent at the first available opportunity to correct what the resolution characterizes as judicial overreach
