Whereas, the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution states that "The
5 powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States,
6 are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"; and
7 Whereas, the enumerated powers of the federal government, as outlined in the
8 United States Constitution, do not include the authority or power to establish laws concerning
9 marriage; and
10 Whereas, it is, therefore, clear that laws concerning marriage are for each state to
11 establish and maintain severally and independently; and
12 Whereas, the People of the State of North Carolina approved the Marriage
13 Amendment of 2012, which is now included as Section 6 of Article XIV of the North Carolina
14 Constitution, with a 61% affirmative vote; and
15 Whereas, the United States Supreme Court overstepped its constitutional bounds
16 when it struck down Section 6 of Article XIV of the North Carolina Constitution in its
17 Obergefell v. Hodges decision of 2015; and
18 Whereas, the ruling of the United States Supreme Court not only exceeds the
19 authority of the Court relative to the State of North Carolina and a vote of the People of the
20 State on an issue pertaining solely to the State of North Carolina and the People of North
21 Carolina {so far so good, but then....} but also exceeds the authority of the Court relative to the decree of Almighty God that
22 "a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become
23 one flesh" (Genesis 2:24, ESV) and abrogates the clear meaning and understanding of marriage
24 in all societies throughout prior history;
