Some circuit court will rule for the polygamist, and then the Supremes will have to take it.

The guy isn't suing for the right to sleep with multiple women in private, but rather the right to have his relationships contractualized by the state. I think I'll wait until at least one court interprets Lawrence v Texas as requiring gay marriage before I worry about any court finding in Lawrence a right to multiple, simultaneous marriages.

Bingo. Court shopping is a game any group can play. In fact, considering how this is Utah, I would not be surprised if their isn't at least one closet polygamist already on the bench somewhere back state.

There will be no slippery slope. It's all about gays. No court will rule for poly, incest, or anything else.
It ends at gay marriage. Pure politics in the courtroom. Other groups do not have a chance with their agendas. It would be a losing proposition for the activist courts! They are not about to limit their power now.
