This concurrent resolution from the North Dakota Legislative Assembly calls on the United States Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution argues that the ruling conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and the foundational principles of individual liberty, asserting that the framers of the Constitution intended for human dignity to be inherent and not granted by the government. It contends that the decision undermines the traditional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman, a definition that has been upheld for centuries in legal and cultural contexts.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that the judicial branch should not legislate from the bench and that the authority to define marriage should reside with the states and the people. It expresses concern that the Obergefell decision infringes on the civil liberties of states and their voters by mandating the recognition of same-sex marriage, which some states may oppose based on their own constitutions. The resolution concludes by urging the Supreme Court to restore the traditional definition of marriage and return the authority over marriage laws to the states.
