Congressman Steve King released the following statement after submitting his amendment, defunding the enforcement of the Supreme Courts ruling on Same-Sex Marriage, to the omnibus spending bill: It is the obligation of Congress to restore its Article I Constitutional authority and the balance of power, said King. This omnibus is the best opportunity to support and defend our Constitutional authority. My amendment blocks the Federal government from forcing the states to accept and honor same-sex marriage imposed by judicial fiat. The people, through their elected representatives, should be the ones deciding whether to adopt same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court Justices are the last people on earth who can be allowed to amend our Constitution. This is the third of nine amendments that I submitted to make the omnibus spending bill a bill that fulfills the promises we all made to our constituents in 2014 and restores Article I Constitutional authority to the United States Congress.
