Idaho Lawmaker Seeks Supreme Court Review of Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

Monday, March 2, 2026 at 8:01 AM

An Idaho Republican representative has proposed legislation asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage across the nation. The measure follows a similar bill that cleared Idaho's House last year but failed to advance in the state Senate.

A Republican legislator in Idaho has put forward legislation requesting that the U.S. Supreme Court take another look at its landmark 2015 ruling that made same-sex marriage legal throughout the United States.

State Representative Tony Wisnewski is behind the proposed measure, which would formally petition the nation’s highest court to revisit the decision. According to Wisnewski, “The government has to recognize that the family is the fundamental building block of society.” The lawmaker contends that same-sex marriage weakens this foundational institution.

This isn’t the first time Idaho legislators have pursued this approach. A comparable proposal successfully moved through the Idaho House of Representatives during the previous legislative session, though it ultimately stalled and failed to gain approval in the state Senate.
