Another gratuitous assertion, but no valid response.

You just don't like the idea that our constitution has been used to justify bigotry. You liked the decision AGAINST the Mormons, you just don't want the same treatment applied to the muslims, so you claim the comparison isn't valid. It is certainly true that two wrongs don't make a right, but until the polygamy decision is overturned, as was the Dred Scott decision, the rule stands, and the government is authorized (and should) to do the same to the muslims.
