STATE OF OKLAHOMA
2nd Session of the 49th Legislature (2004)
HOUSE
RESOLUTION HR1051: Graves
AS INTRODUCED
A Resolution condemning the same-sex marriage decision by the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; requesting the impeachment of the judges who decided this decision; providing for distribution.
WHEREAS, in the Bible, in western civilization and all recorded civilizations of the world, marriage has always been viewed as a union between a man and a woman, not between a man and a man, or a woman and a woman; and
WHEREAS, homosexuality is defined as a sin in the Bible and has been looked upon as that by Christendom and even non-Christian countries; and
WHEREAS, homosexuals and lesbians have not succeeded in achieving their goals in the legislative branches of government, but have sought to achieve their homosexual and sinful agenda through the courts by unelected judges; and
WHEREAS, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through its Supreme Court, in a
4-3 decision has declared that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right based upon a reading of the Massachusetts Constitution and has legalized same-sex marriage beginning on May 17, A.D. 2004, a day that will live in infamy in western civilization; and
WHEREAS, some members of the Massachusetts Legislature have attempted to pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting same-sex marriage in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but because of their law a vote cannot be achieved until 2005; and
WHEREAS, the decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Court declaring that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right constituted a usurpation of legislative powers and the powers of the people and was an act of tyranny on the part of the said judges; and
WHEREAS, the judges of the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts should be impeached and removed from office for these acts of tyranny and against Christian morality.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 49TH OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
THAT the Oklahoma Legislature condemns the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for legalizing same-sex marriage and implores the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to impeach the Supreme Court judges who made this immoral and unconstitutional ruling and remove them from office.
THAT copies of this resolution be distributed to the Governor and the members of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
