As with gay marriage - consenting adults, and I don't see how it can possibly harm my marriage to my wife. I don't see why either I or the government should care.

Two thoughts -
1. You knew this was coming after gay-marriage was imposed by liberal judiciaries. They will use the exact same arguments.
2. Muslims can take up to 4 wives. This will help with Sharia Law where applicable.

Consciously taking tactics from the gay-rights movement... Can we have a big list of "I told you so's?" We all knew it was coming.

The Supreme Beings should weigh in on this. I'm sure it's in the Constitution somewhere, provided that they say so. Otherwise, it's not.

Not two years ago, everyone was talking about gay marriage and we said "But that could lead to all this other stuff, starting with polygamy." and they said "Oh no, your just being paranoid. It'll never happen." Remember how they tore Santorum to pieces with his comments in that area. Yeah, well, looks like it's time for Step 2!

I could go for a 1/10th time share in a wife. That's about my speed. I assume my legal liability would be constrained to 10% of 50% of my assets and future income. Hell, that's less than sales tax.
Deal !!

Of course we knew this was coming; the liberals did this with their adoption of moral relativism. If it's ok for two people of the same gender, why not one man and five women? Or how about one woman and three men? Or, if someone really, really, loves their cat...
It's all part of the same logic.

My vet bills are outrageous, and I have pretty good health coverage -- so I'd like to marry my cat. Hope my vet takes Blue Cross/Blue Shield!

Except that plural marriage sets up a MASSIVE load of potential problems that could tie up the legal system for years and years and years. Imagine plural divorces, multi-spousal insurance coverage, multi-spousal tax issues and on and on. The mind just boggles at how incredibly stupid allowing ploygamy would be here in the 21st century.

If a guy wants 4 wives I have no problem with that. But I would have to ask: W H Y ? ? ?..........

Well, for starters, a heck of a lot of the kids produced from the current illicit unions are on welfare. I'm not sure it's in the best interest of any kid to share his father with twenty or so other kids and a few other moms.
It's also a horrible, horrible lifestyle foisted on these women. What do you think those first wives feel like when they see their husband taking his next wife. Do a websearch on the misery and suffering of these women. It's awful.

Why would you deny right of another woman to marry a man, just because one already did it?
