The polygamy ruling was just restricting Utah from prosecuting people for cohabitating, it did not keep them from prosecuting bigamy. It was based on and brought by the people on that Sister Wives show, IIRC. They were being charged even though he’s only legally married to one of those ladies. The judge felt that Utah’s law went too far.

BUT, it will be construed to mean that they MUST be recognized, just as Lawrence v. Texas, made sodomy "legal" nationwide, was cited extensively to force counterfeit marriage on multiple states.

Yes, this is the Lawrence of the polygamists.

Loving v. Virginia is the way that SCOTUS will ultimately rule on same-sex marriage.

It’ll be almost the same decision verbatim, with necessary changes re: same-sex couples/interracial couples.

I figure in less than five years. Maybe as few as two.

Polygamy has a long history, including many Biblical figures such as Abraham, Moses, Kings Saul, David, Solomon and many others as well as Simeon, Ezra and etc. Please show me one place before the modern era that same sex marriage was practiced widely.
