Missouri HCR50 rejects the Obergefell v. Hodges decision and urges the Supreme Court to reverse it.

Missouri HCR50 rejects the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, and calls for the Court to reverse this ruling. The resolution argues that the decision was illegitimate due to alleged impartiality issues with two Justices and that it undermines states' rights to define marriage. It asserts that marriage should remain defined as between one man and one woman, reflecting traditional views and Missouri's constitutional amendment. The resolution emphasizes that only legislatures, not courts, should have the authority to pass laws.
