It seems like a convenient argument but the problem is, it's a legitimate, factual argument. With the recent Supreme Court ruling, polygamists and other minority groups have every reason to expect that their legal right to marry should be left up to the States; and they can expect full, unfettered access to all the federal benefits of marriage. People marrying animals is silly. But what's to prevent a man from marrying a ten-year-old, as long as both parties consent? The 2 landmark decisions by the Court today have pushed the institution of marriage down a very slippery slope. I'm with Judge Scalia on this (as usual). His problem was, the argument against DOMA seemed to be based more on emotion and dislike of its supporters, rather than being framed as a legal argument.
