Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's decision on same-sex marriage:

"Todays Supreme Court decision is a disappointment. I have always supported traditional marriage. Despite this decision, no one can overrule the truth about what marriage actually is -- a sacred institution between a man and a woman. I have always believed marriage is between one man and one woman and I will continue to work to ensure our religious beliefs are protected and people of faith are not punished for their beliefs."
