The inevitable result, as predicted, of the court decision on gay marriage, etc.

Why a man would want more than one wife at a time dwelves into sanity issues, IMO.

In denying the marriage license, the county violated the plaintiffs First Amendment right to practice their religion, attorney Brian Barnard says in the suit. Actually he has a better shot with that ever elusive 14th amendment where so-called privacy trumps reason. This should be an easy win after Lawrence. Bet the media left forgets they own Rick Santorum an apology.

SORRY!
Meant to say, "Inevitable result of Supreme Court decision on Texas sodomy statute."

Read Rick Santorm's predictions of the consequences of the Lawrence case. It happened faster than anybody expected, but it is just as expected in content.

The irony of these folks using a struck-down anti-sodomy law to advocate for their religious rights is just too out there.

Here it comes - the fall-out from the Texas Sodomite decision
To: mrobison
A good day for Libertarians! What is the problem??
To: mrobison; Green Knight
This is the logical outgrowth of the Massachusetts decision and all that the lawyer is doing here is taking it to its logical extremes. And since we can't have the government meddling in religion or some kind of "optional polygamy" for Mormon schismatics and the like, the inevitable result is going to be the creation of a kind of secular polygamy.
Oui.

I have yet to see a good reason for polygamy among consenting adults to be outlawed.

Let's stop here and remember Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's
dissent in
Lawrence v. Texas from last June:
"...State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality and obscenity are ... sustainable only in light of Bowers validation of laws based on moral choices," ... "This effectively decrees the end of all morals legislation."
So it goes...

The problem mostly happens when the state is asked to call these second, third, etc. partnerships marriage. Mere unmarried cohabitation, however immoral is no longer illegal in many (most?) places.

Hope they included polyandry. It wouldn't be fair for just men to get the multiple contract option.
