Which "both"? Do you mean DOMA and the CA ruling?Polygamy hardly seems random when both the controversial decisions came down on the same week.
Neither of those had anything to do with polygamy.
In fact, the only time polygamy was mentioned was in questioning which ensured it was NOT an issue.
Correct.
Nor does the Utah case.
In fact, polygamy has nothing to do with the issue of equal protection rights for same-sex couples at all, because polygamy is cohabitation, not marriage, and no states marriage law is written to accommodate more than two persons.
To mention polygamy in the context of equal protection rights for same-sex couples is nothing more than demagoguery.
