FRC Urges Massachusetts Legislature to ‘Let the People Vote!’
0 Comments
Washington, D.C. - Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony Perkins released the following statement in response to a ruling by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts which found that the Massachusetts legislature violated the state constitution by refusing a vote on a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union between one man and one woman:
"The court is hypocritical in this decision. Three years ago, the court created this conflict by imposing same-sex marriage. It's time the people were given a voice now that both the court and the legislature has trampled upon 5000 years of human history and the nation's oldest state constitution.
"In Massachusetts, we have lawmakers who are so under the sway of the homosexual activists that they refuse to carry out their duty under the state constitution. It is not going too far to conclude that the citizens of Massachusetts no longer live in a democracy; rather they live in an oligarchy where their elected representatives flaunt the constitution at will.
"There is only one day left in the legislature's session this year. No legislator in Massachusetts can pretend that they are not constitutionally obligated to vote on this provision - the court's decision made that clear."
