Link not allowed but this is a major news story for conservatives as it proves what we warned about:
A U.S. District Court judge has sided with the polgyamous Brown family, ruling that key parts of Utahs polygamy laws are unconstitutional.
Judge Clark Waddoups 91-page ruling, issued Friday, sets a new legal precedent in Utah, effectively decriminalizing polygamy. It is the latest development in a lawsuit filed by the family of Kody Brown, who became famous while starring in cable TV channel TLCs reality series "Sister Wives." The show entered a fourth season at the end of the summer.

What consenting adults do in their own homes is their business. Get someone to wave a wand over your heads and you are a unit, couple, pair, etc . . . A private affair the state has no business in.
Every legal claim they want can be accomplished with a little legal planning and contracts.
Legal and religious marriages are VERY different.
The State has an interest in what’s best for the State, and rewards/punishes to that end. The State can also NOT discriminate in many areas.
If one man/one woman is not marriage, anything and everything is possible.
Marry all your children and pass on everything inheritance tax free!
Those FLDS members in TX were sucking up every welfare entitlement they could get their hands on.
Polygamy is certainly less unnatural than the bizarre and ludicrous concept that persons of the same sex can be “married.” Bravo Judge!
Yo, ho, ho and the canary’s next!
The Mormon high command in Salt Lake City gave up on polygamy more than a century ago. Practicing (however unofficially) polygamists in Utah are actively suppressed. Therefore, Waddoups is doing this, not as a Mormon, but as a social revolutionary. Hide your household pets before he strikes again.
Yes, it was.
