Michigan state representative Josh Schriver plans to propose a resolution urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage. He argues it conflicts with traditional marriage standards and the Michigan Constitution. Although his measure is nonbinding and unlikely to pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate, it is part of a broader trend where Republican-led states are challenging established LGBTQ+ rights. Justice Clarence Thomas has indicated support for revisiting such landmark cases, raising concerns about future legal stability for marriage equality.
Josh Schriver is calling for the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, claiming it's incompatible with marriage sanctity and foundational principles.
The resolution, while nonbinding, reflects a growing cultural assault on LGBTQ+ rights, as seen in other states like Idaho.
Previous Supreme Court rulings on marriage equality could be challenged again following Justice Thomas's suggestion to revisit past cases seen as erroneous.
Despite its co-sponsors, the resolution faces an uphill battle in the Democrat-controlled Senate, indicating intense political polarization on this issue.
