Could Friday’s Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage across the country make polygamous marriage a legal reality nationwide in the near future?

Jonathan Turley, the attorney who won the polygamy marriage case in Utah for Kody Brown and his four “Sister Wives” thinks the majority opinion “resonates” with the arguments he made to the Utah Supreme Court to decriminalize polygamous consensual relationships.

“The cases are actually different in that the Brown case is about the criminalization while today’s case was about recognition. We have not argued for recognition of plural marriages. Indeed, the Browns have never asked for multiple marriage licenses,” Turley said in an e-mail statement to The Daily Caller.

“Like many plural families, they have one state license for one marriage but chose to live as a plural family with “spiritual marriages.” In that sense, our case is more like Lawrence v. Texas that was handed down ten years ago.”(continued)

I beg to differ. Roe v. is still the worst. There, SCOTUS has the blood of 50M on their hands

Wasn’t it Roberts whom, in the marriage case, cited the Rule of Law vs. Man; when he did just the OPPOSITE w/ the OCare case...

Yep, they only care re: outcome, they care not what the precedent, logic or Constitution may show otherwise.
