#Idaho Lawmakers Want #SCOTUS to Overturn #SameSexMarriage Decision

A state legislative cmte has advanced a resolution asking that the power to regulate #marriage be returned to states.

Since 1793, when the #US #SupremeCourt declined a request by Pres George Washington to offer #legal guidance on foreign relations, the court’s justices have steered away from weighing in outside the context of a formal lawsuit.

That has not deterred lawmakers in #Idaho, however. This week, a State House cmte overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling on #SCOTUS to undo #ObergefellVHodges, the landmark 2015 decision that gave same-sex couples the right to marry….

The resolution would still need approval by the full House & the ID Senate before any request could be sent to #SCOTUS. Both chambers in ID are controlled by #Republicans.

“Since court rulings are not laws & only legislatures elected by the people may pass laws, #Obergefell is an illegitimate overreach,” the resolution reads. It continues: “The Idaho Legislature calls upon the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse Obergefell & restore the *natural* definition of #marriage, a union of one man & one woman” [tell that to the Mormons]
