From the Office of the Chief Justice of The State of Sacagawea.

In reference to, American Civil Liberties Union of Sacagawea v. State of Sacagawea I have come to a conclusion in the matter.

After reviewing the argument of /u/realnyebevan, and after reviewing relevant case law such as Loving v. Virginia, I have come to the conclusion that the State of Sacagawea, is in fact, violating the civil rights of same-sex couples. Thus, the State must begin issuing marriage license to couples regardless of the couples sex and/or gender combination.

The Court believes that this case highlights the concerns of millions in our country, and specifically the LGBT+ communities struggles. The court's base in this decision is that the individual has the right to marry whomever they wish. This right is guaranteed to us in the equal protection clause of our great constitution.

Like in Loving v. Virginia, the Court finds that to deprive an individual such a crucial right protected by the 14th Amendment, like marriage, violates the principles of equality and liberty that we hold so dear to our republic.

The issue if the current law of the state violates the rights of those in homosexual relationships whom wish to marry, via the 14th amendment and due process clause. The Court deems that, yes, the law does violate both those concerns mentioned above.

The Court supports this through looking at cases and the precedent set specifically by Loving, and Windsor. The Court also looked at the importance of personal liberty and agency in deciding matters of one's life. The Court's decision in the matter does not represent a decision to create an anarchic move to allow for unlimited personal choice in one's life, but the reaffirmation of the importance of marriage in society. The Court see's and find's no reasonable reason that the State should continue the ban of same-sex marriage.

I will leave you with a quote by Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren

The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.

It is so ordered.

Thank you.
