South Carolina State House lawmakers introduced a concurrent resolution Thursday that seeks to reject the Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.
[…]The 12 representatives who introduced the resolution are:
Rep. Philip Bowers: R-Pickens
Rep. Stephen Frank: R-Greenville
Rep. Rob Harris: R-Spartanburg
Rep. Jeff Johnson: R-Horry
Rep. Jay Jordan: R-Florence
Rep. Steven Long: R-Spartanburg
Rep. Josiah Magnuson: R-Spartanburg
Rep. John McCravy: R-Greenwood
Rep. Melissa Oremus: R-Aiken
Rep. Mark Willis: R-Greenville
Rep. Richie Yow: R-Chesterfield
[…]“Obergefell relies on the dangerous fiction of treating the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution as a font of substantive rights, a doctrine that strays from the full meaning of the Constitution and exalts judges at the expense of the people from whom they derive their authority,” the resolution read in part.
The resolution also requests that the Supreme Court restore the “natural law definition of marriage, a union of one man and one woman.”
[…]The resolution has been referred to the House Committee on Invitations and Memorial Resolutions. The State Senate has also concurred with the proposed resolution.
If the resolution passes, it is not legally binding and will have no effect on same-sex marriage in South Carolina.
