The Supreme Court as it has in the past is making law. I do not believe that is what the Constitution intended or allows
.
AUSTIN Texas (Texas Insider Report) Yesterday I sent a request to Texas Attorney General Paxton for a legal opinion on the protection of religious liberty rights of Texans guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should the Supreme Court rule in favor of same sex marriage as they did today said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick earlier today following the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling on same sex marriage.
My request broadens the scope of SB 2065 to include County Clerks judges and Justices of the Peace who may be forced to issue a marriage license or preside over a wedding that is against the free exercise of their religion as guaranteed by the 1st 
Amendment.
Article VI section 2 of the U. S. Constitution: This Constitution and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.Nearly 75 of all Texans voted to place in our state Constitution that in Texas marriage is defined as being between one man and one woman. If Congress wants to pass a law legalizing marriage in the United States it would never pass.
However the Supreme Court has taken it upon themselves by the margin of one vote to create law and override the will of the people of 14 states.
In a 5 - 4 vote today supporting gay marriage as the law of the land the Supreme Court has once again ruled in a manner that I believe is not only unconstitutional but threatens to undermine the 1st Amendment protections from government interfering with the free exercise of religion.
The First Amendment which reads:
Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Now more than ever we must ensure that faithful Texans be afforded their religious liberty protections.
During this past session the Senate passed SB 2065 which was signed by the Governor that protects pastors from having to perform a marriage between two people of the same sex if it goes against their religious beliefs.
May God continue to bless our country and the great state of Texas.
