BOISE, Idaho (The Hill) — The Idaho House passed a Republican-backed resolution on Monday urging the Supreme Court to reconsider the legality of same-sex marriage. 

All of Idaho’s Democratic House members opposed the non-binding resolution, as did 15 Republicans. It passed 46-24.

“Christians across the nation are being targeted,” said state Rep. Heather Scott (R), who sponsored the measure.

House Minority Leader Ilana Rubel (D) said she voted against the resolution because it harms “good people.”

“It’s deeply upsetting to some of those folks, and it makes them not want to live here,” Rubel told the Idaho Capital Sun. “These are good people. These are good, law-abiding people who are feeling like their Legislature doesn’t want them here and doesn’t want them to be able to live the full rights that everybody else can.”   

State legislators argue the opposite in the resolution, claiming the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court ruling upholding same-sex marriage was made “in complete contravention of their own state constitutions and the will of their voters, thus undermining the civil liberties of those states’ residents and voters.”

Idaho voters passed an amendment to their state constitution in 2006 affirming that legal marriage was only between a man and a woman. 

The Supreme Court does not overturn its previous rulings absent a new case presenting a legal challenge.
