Idaho House Challenges Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

The Idaho House of Representatives has passed a resolution urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution argues that the decision contradicts the U.S. Constitution and the country's founding principles, advocating for marriage to be defined as a union between a man and a woman. Supported primarily by Republicans, this move reflects conservative opposition to LGBT+ rights and echoes Justice Clarence Thomas's interest in revisiting substantive due process precedents. The resolution is non-binding and serves as a political statement without legal force, raising concerns among critics about its impact on marriage equality and rights of same-sex couples. The resolution now proceeds to the Idaho Senate for further consideration.
