I bet there will he a lawsuit within months, designed to push the issue all the way to SCOTUS. And if the court comes up with a reason to allow polygamy bans, they will be exposed as making the rules up along the way.

You are probably right....they just won’t hear the case....but in around 20 years they will relent.

We will get polygamy and what happens when the first Muslim American citizen sues to marry the 8 year old girl. Voila! Adult-child marriage.

The term marriage has been obliterated as stated in the thread. We have Justice Kennedy to thank for this atrocity but also the other 4 brain dead nihilists who in their wisdom, have become fools.

There already is one. Check out Brown v. Buhman, which is now in the 10th Circuit, and should reach the USSC in a year or two. This is the same Brown family that was the subject of the reality TV show “Sister Wives”. When that comes before the Court, the justices will be hard-pressed to uphold any laws against polygamy, because the same arguments used in the ssm case will be used in the pending case. They can't simply accept them in one case and deny them in another where the legal issues are the same. It is also inevitable that cases for incestuous marriages and pedophilic marriages will come before the Court, with similar outcomes.

The SCOTUS basically confirmed one thing and that is popular opinion will override the Constitution. As soon as opinion polls show acceptance for whatever perversion you can imagine the Constitution can be twisted just enough to find the right to do it
