Republican lawmakers in several states have introduced measures encouraging the Supreme Court to strike down Obergefell v. Hodges.

Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have signaled in a court dissent that the case should be reconsidered.

A 2024 Gallup poll found that 69 percent of Americans support legal same-sex marriage, with more support among Democrats than Republicans .

Schriver 's bill is assigned to the House Government Operations Committee .

It needs to pass through the committee before being voted on by the lower chamber.

In order to become law it would then need to pass the Senate and be signed by the Governor.

Mat Staver , chairman of the conservative Christian ministry Liberty Counsel , said last week : "It's not an if, it's just a matter of when" Obergefell will be overruled.
