Nov 6, 2014

Today, a federal appeals court in Cincinnati has upheld natural marriage laws in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief at the Sixth Circuit case on behalf of the American Family Association of Michigan, which was one of the coauthors of the Michigan marriage amendment.

Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote, “Of all the ways to resolve this question, one option is not available: a poll of the three judges of this panel, or for that matter all federal judges, about whether gay marriage is a good idea. Our judicial commissions did not come with such a sweeping grant of authority, one that would allow just three of us—just two of us in truth—to make such a vital policy call for the thirty-two million citizens who live within the four states of the Sixth Circuit.”

With a divide in the appeals court rulings, the Supreme Court will likely take up the issue.
