"After DOMA, until 2003, only three U.S. states (AK, NE, NV) saw fit to amend their constitutions to limit the legal definition of marriage to a union of one man and one woman. And just as they now have with polygamy, the liberal courts struck. In Lawrence v. Texas, the U.S. Supreme Court in a 6 to 3 ruling (reversing itself from the 1986 Bowers v. Georgia) overturned the Texas anti-sodomy law and thus invalidated similar laws in the 12 states that still had them on their books. Of course, as liberals now point out with polygamy, the Lawrence ruling in no way granted gays the legal right to marry, but it did give legal (and inevitably cultural) legitimization to homosexual activity. Then the liberal courts struck again, as they almost certainly will do (if they follow their own liberal logic) in the case of polygamy."

If everything hinges on “equal rights”, then polygamy will be allowed. At this point I don’t even care any more. Judges are making up laws as they go. Christians are being more marginalized every day. America is becoming weaker in many ways. Obama is hastening our demise but it has been coming for a long time. Makes me glad I’m old.

Look on the bright side of this idea:

Due to hypergamy, women will tend towards plural marriage with the few alpha males who don’t give a rat’s rear end for feminism or feminists.

The feminists will be left alone, or having to settle for the beta/gamma males who aren’t worth jack. And increasingly, those men are refusing to marry.

Within two generations, we could be done with feminism for good - the feminists will have seen what their stupidity bought them, and they’ll realize that they brought the results on themselves.

The States have to be willing to tell de facto Anthony Kennedy to shove his ruling up his ass if he tries to force the nation to accept gay marriage. Just because he's on a crusade does not mean the States can't fight back.

Polygamy seems intrinsically flawed. In odd number scenarios, the “odd man out” will start to feel neglected or objectified as the ones that get along more with each other, spend more time together. Over a period of time, divorce will become appealing to them (They don’t really feel loved any more right?) and take 1/(# of marriage participants) possessions. In even number scenarios, sub-pairings are likely to occur that are not in everyone’s best desires (A pairs with D, B wanted to be with D, but must settle with C for now). Thus, they aren’t getting the level/kind of attention that they wanted out of the relationship and follow the same situation as the above.
You could limit the damage with contracts that protect each individual’s property, but not many people who stay home to watch the kids or take care of the home will want that.
