WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Tom Price, M.D. (GA-06) issued the following statement today after the Supreme Court stripped states of the authority to oversee marriage:
“Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court serves only as further encouragement to use the court system as a systematic springboard to enact agendas outside the democratic and legislative structures of government. Thirty States have held statewide ballots banning gay marriage since the year 2000, and yet legislating from the bench has superseded both public approval and our elected representatives. This is not only a sad day for marriage, but a further judicial destruction of our entire system of checks and balances.”
