Reaction to Supreme Court Marriage Decision

Following the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges case granting same-sex marriage in all 50 states, Congressman Doug Lamborn issued the following statement:

"I am very disappointed that the Supreme Court chose to utilize their power to disenfranchise millions of Americans with valid moral and cultural concerns via this decision. By undertaking this staggering judicial overreach, the Court, in its very finite wisdom, has decided to throw out thousands of years of tradition and societal structure. Decisions of this magnitude should absolutely be made on a state-by-state basis with local and individual citizen involvement. This decision is a slap in the face to all Americans who value this tradition of local government."
