SCOTUS ruling commentary

On Friday, June 26, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that was legislative in nature. They decided in a 5-4 ruling that all states must recognize same-sex marriages. Below is an interview with Attorney Michael Farris.  Michael is a constitutional appellate litigator and is Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association: 

INTERVIEW

This interview aired during the first half of the Friday 6/26 edition of The Covenant Home, at approximately 7:11 PM. 

Not only is this a dire moral issue, it is also a blatant States' Rights issue. 

Chief Justice Roberts disagreed with the decision and wrote: "This court is not a legislature. Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us. Under the Constitution, judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should be. The fundamental right to marry does not include a right to make a State change its definition of marriage." 

Franklin Graham had this to say about the decision: "The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled today that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. With all due respect to the court, it did not define marriage, and therefore is not entitled to re-define it.

Long before our government came into existence, marriage was created by the One who created man and woman—Almighty God—and His decisions are not subject to review or revision by any manmade court. God is clear about the definition of marriage in His Holy Word: “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).

I pray God will spare America from His judgment, though, by our actions as a nation, we give Him less and less reason to do so."
