What would have ever given Roberts that idea?
That’s a lot of gauzy schmaltz for a High Court decision, even by the more relaxed standards of the summing-up paragraphs in a majority opinion. The striking thing about Kennedy’s ruling isn’t that he came down the way he did, which was a mortal lock, but that he didn’t concern himself with trying to narrow the reasoning to meet the core objection of SSM opponents, that there’s no way to get traction on this slippery slope. “That would have been beyond the scope of the decision,” Kennedy fans will say; polygamy wasn’t at issue here so he had no business addressing it. True — he had no business addressing it explicitly. But he could have added language that he knew would be pointed back to later when polygamy inevitably lands before the Court. “Unlike some forms of marital relationships, a marriage of two members of the same sex is a partnership of equals” — something like that, or rhetoric about how other forms of marriage might be exploitative by their very nature. Anything to signal to polygamists that if they try to make their play at the Court anytime soon, they may not like which way Kennedy goes on that.

I demand to marry a humu humu nuku nuku apua ‘a, a barn owl and a cantaloupe.
Zer0 is now free to marry Reggie.
That could be interpreted that ONLY two men are equal, but the Gaystopo was arguing that a man and a man were the EQUAL of a man and a woman. Thus, by their original logic (sic), every marriage is a marriage of EQUALS. It's not a leap to say a polygamous marriagae is a marriage of EQUALS.
Moreover, the Supremes decided in 1890 they could define marriage as between ONE man and ONE woman. Today's warped decision changed that definition. If a definition can be changed ONCE, it can be changed TWICE, or THREE times, etc...
Your property will become someone else's right. Your time on this planet is some one else's right.
An apology and maybe reparations.
Those early Mormon polygamists went to prision for their practice of marriage. Not a single homo even spent a night in jail for their perverted practice of marriage. Just who is being persecuted?
If you oppose polygamy then you are Islamophobic and hate Muslims.
Can’t have that.
So to be tolerant of diverse cultures we MUST legalize polygamy as soon as possible.
I mean the SCOTUS should legalize it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Roberts is into this kinky stuff himself. He probably gets down with the knights of Malta when he goes there on vacations.
RE: John Roberts: I … can’t help but think this decision opens the door to legal polygamy
I can’t help but think that John Robert’s decisions on Obamacare opens the door to the Supreme Court legislating our healthcare.
Yes. Overwhelm the system. The Supreme Court will have to be careful. If enough people ignore their rulings, they will become irrelevant.
Exactly.
Mr. Roberts has obliterated the meaning of words. He his a tyrant of the highest order.
“I want to see someone push for polygamy. “
I wonder if you will get a discount on your marriage license after the third spouse. Nah, probably not.
I get your point (and agree with it), but I've got to tell you that having 4 wives just ain't gonna make you happy. Just remember that you can't spend all of your time in bed, you've got to deal with the rest - and add to the normal "rest" the jealousy of 3 of them at any one time. Good luck with that!
Thus, you can't be "discriminated" against for your marital status when applying for a marriage license.
I'm not even a lawyer and even I could argue that before the court. Polygamy in all 50 states is a done deal.
What are the chances of all 4 wives all having a headache at the same time?
“Yes. Overwhelm the system. The Supreme Court will have to be careful. If enough people ignore their rulings, they will become irrelevant.”
I like to point out that this is exactly how The USSR, with enough nukes to destroy the planet 20 times over and arguably the most powerful standing military in the history of civilization at the time, fell with hardly a shot. People just stopped believing in it.
Duh.
Heck, it’s no longer polygamy or bigamy. It’s now polyamory, or any combination and number of participants folks might come up with.
But they love Muslims. Hence.... Polygamy.
Make that a four year old boy, and I agree with you.
Did you see that post this morning where some homo was bragging about indoctrinating 4 year olds?
Good grief!
