“Ted Olson will take this to the SCOTUS and win based on the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.”

Not saying that SCOTUS definitely won’t rule that way, Lord knows how they’re going to intepret the Constitution from moment to moment. But there is no equal protection issue. The law applied equally to everyone before the law changed, and it applies equally to everyone now. The law can change.

I don’t understand why plural marriage advocated aren’t chiming in on this case. They also are being discriminated because they want to marry more than one. Why are their wishes to marry any less than mine or the gays?

The CA Court created two classes and the SCOTUS likes to apply the Equal Protection Clause.
