Original intent?
They are going to make pedophile polygamy as valid as man and wife marriage.
does not sound like victory
The SCOTUS ruling blows the doors off government marriage and makes it nearly inevitable that it will soon include polygamy and anything else. I don’t see it as much of a refuge.
In culturally conservative places like Mississippi moving marriage to the private sector will be preserving the traditional understanding of marriage.
Of course, either way constitutes a defeat. There’s no getting around that.
“They are going to make pedophile polygamy as valid as man and wife marriage.”
why shouldn’t adult polygamists be constitutionally protected if they want to marry more than one woman over the age of consent? [NOTE: that i said OVER the age of consent.]
if the USSC can say same sex marriage is constitutional, then that ruling should set the precedent for polygamists? oh, right...we’re talking about an heterosexual arrangement, which has not been duly recognized as a protected minority by our progressive justices...yet. time will tell.
polygamists need to come out of hiding, and start picketing and demonstrating, and send gobs of money [that they probably don’t have, because of all the financial responsibilities having more that one wife and beaucoup children entail] to their duly elected representatives to get their attention at election time.
