In their lawsuit, six state legislators, Congressman Steve King, a Le Mars church and its pastor argued the judge did not have authority to grant the divorce because Iowa law does not recognize same-sex marriage. They contended the judge's action undermines marriage between a man a woman and that, by granting a dissolution, the judge usurped the Legislature's power to define the law of marriage.The Supreme Court took considerable pains to point out that it was not ruling on the legal merits of Neary's action. Rather, the court concluded that the plaintiffs had no standing to sue because they are not individually directly affected by the dissolution.
