Bill > SC532

This concurrent resolution, passed by the Mississippi Legislature, urges the United States Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 decision in *Obergefell v. Hodges*, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution argues that *Obergefell* contradicts the Constitution, misinterprets "liberty," and usurps the authority of states to define marriage, which it asserts should be the union of one man and one woman, reflecting historical and common-law traditions. The resolution also expresses that the *Obergefell* decision was illegitimate due to the perceived lack of impartiality of some justices and asserts that only elected legislatures, not courts, should pass laws. Ultimately, the resolution calls for the Supreme Court to reverse *Obergefell* and return the authority to regulate marriage to individual states and their citizens.
