What case was that? I see this case being used to get polygamy as the law of the land.I know the antigay marriage crowd says the slippery slope will lead to adults marrying children, but if you now the case law on children consent, you know that it won't go there. Minors don't have the mental capacity to consent to such a relationship. But I digress.
Polygamy is getting challenged as we say and I have no doubt it will be legalized fairly soon. Should it be? Do you have an issue with it? No doubt there will soon be mail order 2nd wives from Easter Europe starting soon.
I don't see how with the gay marriage supreme court ruling that the courts can deny this. So is America ready for polygamy? Personally I wouldn't mind a 2nd 20 something wife!
Why could they deny it before same sex marriage was legalized?
Courts will look to that precedent when going forward. If it ever makes it to the supreme court, then it will be the law of the land.
It wasn't a polygamy precedent. The SCOTUS polygamy precedent was set in the 19th century.
