Washington, D.C. – The American people are sick and tired of judicial tyrants issuing legislation from the bench such as the decision issued today by the Iowa Supreme Court legalizing homosexual "marriages." Christian Coalition of America condemns today's decision by Iowa's top court as well as the past narrow decisions by the top state courts in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The President of the Christian Coalition of America, Roberta Combs said: "American voters time after time have said they do not want to allow homosexual 'marriages' in America. In fact, some 30 states, by an average approval rating of 70%, including California last November, have approved constitutional amendments banning homosexual 'marriages'. State and federal judges should not be legislating their personal viewpoints from the bench. The American people and their representatives are the only ones who should be making our country's laws."
It is way past time for the United States Congress to finally pass a federal constitutional amendment banning homosexual "marriage" once and for all. Considering the fact that some 30 states have overwhelmingly passed such state amendments, and that 38 states are required to ratify a federal constitutional amendment, such a federal amendment will undoubtedly be ratified by more than enough state legislatures. It is time for Congress to act.
