Billings’ NBC affiliate reports:

A Senate joint resolution to oppose same-sex marriage and the 2015 Obergefell decision was tabled in the body’s Judiciary committee on Monday morning.

Republicans in the Legislature sought to pass a formal resolution that Obergefell v. Hodges, the U.S. Supreme Court case that codified same-sex marriage into federal law, was “at odds with the Constitution of the United States and the principles on which the United States was established.”

Senate Joint Resolution 15, brought by Sen. Rob Phalen, R-Lindsay, did not pass on a 4-4 vote, with Republican Sen. Sue Vinton of Billings joining Democrats in opposition. The Senate Judiciary committee then tabled it on a 6-2 vote. The resolution had support from Republican leadership both in the House and the Senate.

Phalen appeared here last month for his bill to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. 

The hours-long contentious hearing for that bill featured testimony from notorious fake historian and Christian nationalist David Barton. 

Similar anti-Obergefell bills advanced last month in Idaho and North Dakota. Such bills remain in progress in other states.
