SCOTUS Refuses to Take Up Marriage Cases 

Earlier today, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decided that it would not hear any of the marriage redefinition cases currently before it, including cases from Indiana, Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wisconsin. Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s refusal to accept appeals to this judicial activism:

“The Supreme Court decision to not take up these lower court rulings, which undermine natural marriage and the rule of law, for now, puts the issue of marriage back before the US Congress. This decision, in part, is an indication that those on the Court who desire to redefine natural marriage recognize the country will not accept a Roe v. Wade type decision on marriage.
