By 2015, the vast majority of States had passed laws or constitutional amendments defining marriage as between a man and a woman. In 2015, the Supreme Court issued an unconstitutional decision when it required all States and the federal government to accept the Gay definition of marriage. Regulating marriage is the jurisdiction of the States and the Supreme Court only has jurisdiction over laws that transcend State boundaries. The Supreme Court overstepped its authority when it struck down the State law in North Carolina defining marriage as between a man and a woman since the law pertained only to North Carolina and was voted in by a vote of the voters of North Carolina. It also violates God’s law which defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Some States have proposed laws declaring the Supreme Court decision non-binding in their State because it exceeds the boundaries set by the Constitution. Voters in other States should urge their State representatives to enact similar bills.
