We call on all federal and state officeholders: *To refuse to accept Obergefell as binding precedent for all but the specific plaintiffs in that case.* To recognize the authority of states to define marriage, and the right of federal and state officeholders to act in accordance with those definitions. To pledge full and mutual legal and political assistance to anyone who refuses to follow *Obergefell *for constitutionally protected reasons. To open forthwith a broad and honest conversation on the means by which Americans may constitutionally resist and overturn the judicial usurpations evident in *Obergefell*. And in a companion "call to action" ( https://campaignforamericanprinciples.com/scholars-statement/), Robbie George solicits scholars' signatures to "call on all who aspire to be our next President to pledge to treat *Obergefell*, not as 'the law of the land,' but rather (to once again quote Justice Alito) as 'an abuse of judicial power,'” and to "refuse to recognize *Obergefell* as creating a binding rule controlling other cases or their own conduct as President." Does anyone recall any remotely similar initiative by legal scholars in the past half-century or so? Predictions on how many, if any, presidential candidates will make the pledge?
