One of the most ardent conservatives in the House wants the chamber to go on record denouncing the Supreme Court’s recent decision to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide.

Rep. Steve King Steven (Steve) Arnold KingGOP leader: 'There is no place for QAnon in the Republican Party' Loomer win creates bigger problem for House GOP Win by QAnon believer creates new headaches for House GOP MORE (R-Iowa) introduced a resolution on Friday that would make it the sense of the House that the Supreme Court’s decision “perverts the definition of marriage.”

“The traditional definition of marriage is a union between one man and one woman,” King said in a statement. “It is time for Congress to speak out against this Constitutionally baseless decision.”

King’s resolution further argues that states should be allowed to reject the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“Five unelected judges imposed their personal will on the States and the American people by overturning at least thirty states whose constitutions define marriage as a union between one man and one woman,” the Iowa Republican said.

The measure additionally states that individuals, businesses and churches that oppose same-sex marriage should be able to “exercise their faith without fear of legal or government interference.”

Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus are pushing the GOP leadership to schedule a vote this month on Rep. Raúl Labrador’s (R-Idaho) bill to prohibit discrimination through the tax code against people or groups that are against same-sex marriage due to religious beliefs.

To date, though, House Republican leaders have not indicated any desire to move legislation related to same-sex marriage.
