You have to wonder.

“The Mormons see an opening for its polygamist branches”
What polygamous branches?
What I find deliciously ironic, is what took place in the late 1800’s. Your federal Government using the same methods as today with threats of complete destruction brought the Church to it’s knees financially, and then attacked it’s members married to more than one woman, by threatening and following through with jail sentences, thus putting large families in the poor house because the bread winner was in the graybar hotel.
The church, in order to survive, was thus forced to change what was doctrine by revelation, whether you or anyone else believes it, the Church and it’s member’s did, and it was so long it’s been good to know ya, first amendment to the Constitution, before the twentieth century even began.
Statehood was also at stake during the same time and doctrinal change was demanded in order to achieve the same.
We have now come full circle and everyone’s ox is now being gored. Meanwhile somehow the many wives of our Muslim friends seem to be forgotten in the dust up.
So, in conclusion it has been apparent to me for many years, if Christian’s of all persuasions are not willing to stick together, we shall indeed hang separately as one of our founding fathers liked to say.
What hasn’t been said relates to Bishop’s in the LDS Church. They have the power and right to marry civilly. Will they be encouraged to marry same sex couples. I think not, as that will cross a line in regards to other commandments. We shall see.
I hope everyone is able to see what the judiciary is up too. That would be no good. They, along with every other leg of the Constitutional stool, have so far exceeded the limits of their limited powers that they must be constrained.
That said, any attempt at constraint will showcase the very reasons we the people believe they have all exceeded their limited powers enumerated in the Constitution. We the people will bear the scars of any attempt at closing the door on unconstitutionality. The neutered once all powerful States are the last best hope of pulling the Republic back from the brink of Rome.
The polygamists enjoy being married however many times without a license. They largely don’t care about what is going on.
