Why wouldn't it? If it is determined by some court (and then upheld by SCOTUS) that the "equal protection" clause prohibits discrimination in marriage laws to allow gay marriage, how could it not be held to also allow polygamist marriages?

Just curious, isn't polygamy already legal? I mean if not how do they get away with it in Utah? I'm not being facetious, I've always wondered how Mormons could get away with polygamy but in any other state if a guy is married to two women he gets arrested. Any one know?

Or incestuous marriages? The logic works the same. I believe this is called the "slippery slope".

Just hypothetically, what if the majority of people someday wanted to allow polygamy and it was upheld by the supreme court?
I wouldn't be signing up myself but the govt's job isn't to stop "we the people" from making mistakes or to save us from ourselves. Our rights come from the will of the people and not what our Free Republic permits us to do.
