That decision was Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. It legalized and protected same-sex marriage, as former vice president and White House candidate Kamala Harris officiates at right.
It was a decision that Arthur Schaper, field Director for Mass Resistance tells AFN wreaked havoc in our nation.
“It was never [about] marriage to begin with, and we need to start dismantling the lie. We also need to start providing a voice for the children who have been raised in these corrupt fake marriages, false relationships and we need to be able to document and relate to the public how these children are harmed,” Schaper said.
The North Dakota legislature considered asking the High Court to reverse itself, but the idea didn’t gain much traction in the Senate.
After the North Dakota House in February passed the measure 52-40, the state senate debated roughly 10 minutes before voting 31-16 against forwarding the request.
The vote was not a “roll call,” which means the votes of individual lawmakers were not identified, The North Dakota Monitor reported.
“The outcome is slightly disappointing,” Schaper said.
Outside influences
The fact that votes were not identified meant that lawmakers were free to vote their consciences without fear of political “retaliation,” he said. “However, they still voted against it.”
He believes lawmakers were influenced by people from other states, and the “liberal enclaves within North Dakota” – think Minot and Fargo – shifted into gear.
“They were the ones that were writing in,” Schaper said.
In spite of the outcome and an observed lack of courage and resolve in even the most red states, he said voters and grass roots family activists need to continue the fight.
The fact that the resolution passed one of the state’s legislative chambers is a big step forward, he said.
