Could Friday’s Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage across the country make polygamous marriage a legal reality nationwide in the near future?
Jonathan Turley, the attorney who won the polygamy marriage case in Utah for Kody Brown and his four “Sister Wives” thinks the majority opinion “resonates” with the arguments he made to the Utah Supreme Court to decriminalize polygamous consensual relationships.
“The cases are actually different in that the Brown case is about the criminalization while today’s case was about recognition. We have not argued for recognition of plural marriages. Indeed, the Browns have never asked for multiple marriage licenses,” Turley said in an e-mail statement to The Daily Caller.
“Like many plural families, they have one state license for one marriage but chose to live as a plural family with “spiritual marriages.” In that sense, our case is more like Lawrence v. Texas that was handed down ten years ago.”(continued)

If I remember correctly, some Years back the Supreme Court struck down the Texas Sodomy Statute.
Justice Scalia noted that the Ruling was the beginning of the End, and he was right.
You are probably correct. For some reason, Gay Marriage supporters get upset when you mention Polygamous and Incestuous Marriage. It’s either Hypocrisy or they are just Hateful Bigots. LOL
The feminists definitely hate polygamy. Therefore, I think it has as much chance of winning as gay marriage had of losing. The polygamists don’t have the votes.
All of it!...as to your 1st question..of course it will work..but only if u work really hard for the cause...just don't complain when someone worked harder and gets ahead of you with their Govt #...everyone needs one..

In today’s America, that just isn’t fair.
I thought Minority Groups always had more Rights than people “like us”. LOL
What about the Rights of Bi-Sexual Incestuous Polygamist’s?
So what if a Dad wants to Marry his two Daughters and Two Sons. After all, who are we to criticize True Love?
The World is out of Control.
“It wouldn’t be fair to stop at gay marriage. The Supreme Court has set things in motion. How can they say no to Polygamy when the 14th amendment allows it?”.....
Finally, Hitlary’s question, “At this point what difference does it make?” has meaning. Simply, marriage isn’t the issue any longer since more and more people co-reside instead of getting married anyway, if at all. You want 5, 10, 50 wives, go for it, at this point what difference does it make. Marry you dog, your house or what the hell ever you want, the SCOTUS has your back. This whole country has gone insane.
I can picture it now. A gay couple goes to a mosque and asks to be married. Soon after, they are dead, after being dropped head first on a concrete sidewalk.
Polygamy actually makes more sense, biologically, naturally and sensibly. Some people need to spend more time on a farm to understand what is natural. Two cows? Nope! To Bulls? (A battle would result). One bull and a herd of cows? Seems to work....
My prediction is that within 5-10 years there will be so many freaks with bizarre relationships clamoring for recognition of their "marriages" that governments will be forced to concede that they can't even figure out who does or does not qualify for a "marriage license," and will stop even recognizing ANY form of marriage.
The IRS has no idea how convoluted and idiotic the term "married, filing jointly" is about to become.
The best case for a group sham marriage would be an organized crime family. This is how they’d have legal protection to avoid being forced to testify against each other.
Here is a new word:
Homogamy
The dam has broken, and all the land will be flooded with raw sewage.
Muzzies limit 4 and you have to buy them all a separate house or something, nuts to that.
bkmk
It is hard to believe but I am actually witnessing the moral collapse of a major civilization-IN MY LIFETIME! Further, our civilization is in the actual process of being conquered by “Third World’ invaders solely by means of words; i.e. “racist,” “Homophobe,” “bigot, “ etc. etc. At least the Germans had to fight the Romans when the latter fell.
Yup...you are absolutely correct. Spousal privilege is definitely going to be a problem.
Oh, so NOW they're going to get all conservative?!?!?!
Nor, by similar logic, deny a woman multiple husbands.
Chaos ensues.
This guy is an idiot. The left will no longer care about this topic because they have the victory they needed. Sodomite marriage isn’t about marriage or equality. It’s about having the perfect wedge to pry the 1st amendment away from the American people. They will move on to the next phase of court trials, and legislation.
Money, not happiness, was the deciding factor. Plus, Kennedy has been pro-SSM since his appointment to SCJ.
