Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges case:

"The debate and decision over this issue should be left to individual states and the millions of Americans who democratically addressed the definition of marriage at the ballot box, not nine unelected Justices. Religious liberty is a central protection of the First Amendment, and as we move forward in this debate, government should not force citizens to be in a position to violate their deeply held religious beliefs."
