Absolutely! You can count down to roughly 24 months before it hits the Supreme Court for episode two. “Happiness” is the deciding factor and you can’t deny me the right to have two or three wives.
The question will be...as the next case after that....can you even stop me at three wives or six wives? How will you determine any limit?
I’ll go ahead and predict by 2025....we’ve got a hundred guys around the US, who are married to twenty-plus women. All legit of course.
They have to in order to implement sharia law.

Hidden cameras reveal how US soldiers ‘shop’ for wives to get more pay, benefits
Oct. 2, 2014 at 4:42 AMJeff Rossen and Jovanna Billington
NBC News
It’s an open secret at military bases across the country: Soldiers looking for contract marriages. On Craigslist you’ll find dozens of ads, many so blatant that soldiers put the term right on the subject line, not even trying to hide it.
If you’re married in the military, you make more money and get better benefits. So soldiers from the Army, the Navy and all branches of the military pay women to marry them, just to get the perks on the taxpayer’s dime.
Jacobs, a military analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, says these soldiers aren’t looking for love; they want that marriage certificate. And it pays off: A married soldier can make tens of thousands of dollars more than a single one.
Rossen Reports producer Jovanna Billington was wired with hidden cameras for a meeting with the soldier who posted the ad, based at the Fort Stewart Army base in eastern Georgia.
The soldier, who is not being identified by NBC News, got right down to business. “You actually have to like write up an actual contract,” he said. “With all the parameters of what everybody wants.”
“So you’re getting more money from doing this?” Billington asked.
“Almost $1000 just for being married,” the soldier said. “And another $350 for BAS, which is base allowance for subsistence.”
“So you would want to do it like next week?” Billington asked.
“Well, if I could, I would do it today,” the soldier said. “We could just try to get this done.”
And what does the “wife” get out of the deal? “You get health care, and a lot more schools will take military spouses,” the soldier said. “If you need some money, then that’s not an issue.”
The soldier offered Billington $200 a month to start with: “Would that work for you? We’ll give you $200 for the first month just to start and then we’ll see how everything falls with bills and everything.”
“So this is a full business relationship, right?” Billington asked.
“You can see other people, you can do whatever you want,” the soldier said. “It’s like I’m not even here. You’re just getting free [stuff].”
“Commanders do not have the authority to prevent someone from getting married. Marriage is a personal, private decision, and “why” someone chooses to enter into a legal union is not a command issue. Rather, the issue is whether a service member can provide the necessary legal documents to the Service that he or she is married, thus entitling his/her spouse to dependent benefits.”
Great! I’ll take 23 young ones. Make them pretty too!!!
We already have serial polygamy.
Two wives and ex are collecting on one ss account.
One wife (other not married long enough) and one child from each marriage are collecting on my deceased son's ss account.
Multiply this by thousands and you can see what today's decision and what is yet to come will quickly bankrupt the system.
It's not just about non-existing "rights". It's also a matter of economics. And it won't bring in any more tax revenue.
I sure miss my country.
Why not? You might as well make it carte blanche and allow any arrangement between any number of consenting adults to be considered legal, it's not any more silly than allowing two persons of the same sex to marry.
Can I have multiple husbands? On second thought... I don’t want to have to wash all those dirty shorts....
Polygamy is better than homosexual marriage. There is simply no justification for denying polygamy if the SCOTUS has given homosexuals a constitutional right to have the state recognize their marriage.
There is also no justification for a marriage between 4 or 6 people. Bisexuals can’t have equal rights unless they are able to marry both a man and a woman.
The SCOTUS decision is the most unconstitutional usurpation of power in the history of the republic.
We must not let this stand!
Marry your kids in a sexless marriage.
Avoid inheritance taxes.
Yup...and you are going to get gay polygamous marriages as well. SCROTUS just opened a Pandora’s Box for all manner of fraud and abuse. I imagine that you’ll have group sham marriages for purposes of securing benefits from employers and the government. When this happens, employers are going to have an impossible time figuring out how to handle those benefits and Social Security is going to be screwed.
When the Dam Breaks, everyone Drowns.
There is no way that Polygamous Marriage and Incestuous Marriage can be denied thanks to today’s SCOTUS Ruling.
Just imagine when a dozen (or more) Women file for Social Security Survivor Benefits when their Polygamous Husband Dies. Let’s say he was getting $2,000 a Month. Now SS will have to pay out $24,000 a Month to his Surviving Widows.
Oh yeah, don’t forget about any Children under 18 in the Household. They get a SS Check Survivor Check too.
The fun never ends when you have unintended consequences.
These lawyers don’t apparently understand. The Supreme Court couldn’t care less about the law or constitution. Seriously!
Both sides in the gay “marriage” debate act as though the (in-)justices carefully considered the piles and piles of legal arguments and reached an impartial decision. They did not. They knew the outcome they wanted, and they implemented it. They could have ruled on DAY ONE, but that would reveal the truth of how arbitrary the “law” really is in this day age.
No. The process is designed to make it seem as though they’re carefully considering everything in order to lend weight to the final decision (which was already made of course). In fact, they just need time to write their excuses.
Therefore, if the Supreme Court doesn’t want polygamy, we won’t have polygamy regardless of arguments for or against it. I personally think they’ll tell the polygamists to shove off, but who knows with this court?
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....
The dam has broken, and all the land will be flooded with raw sewage.

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.
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.
