I agree. I am okay with polygamy, the only issue I see with it is tax policy would turn into a nightmare, as well as immigration. Claim you have 20 wives and each of htem has another husband and get anybody into the country you want. So there's some issues, but on principle there's no reason to have it banned.

So this is extremely relevant, rofl. Coheed and Cambria made a song using his dissent as lyrics.

Scalia and his lizard yellow teeth are all you need to know about him.

I'm okay with polygamy, too. But the reason why it's not legal in the US is because it is not a part of popular Protestantism. If it was a tenant of Protestantism, I can guarantee you it would be legal in many states.

See, many people in this country are okay with defining marriage within the confines of religion. But only their religion. And therein lies the problem.

Marriage is a legal contract. Visitation rights, health care benefits, shared financials, etc.That's what marriage (legally) is all about. Emotion, love, etc, is up to whoever is in the marriage to decide how that goes. It's not my business to say that marriage should be filled with love, or compassion, and etc. That's your business.

But marriage has historically been a religious institution in the US, and that's why it took until 2015 for us to stop discriminating gays. A secular government is better than a theocracy, and today was a victory in removing just a little bit more of religion from our government and other people's lives.

I saw this thread and came in here to ask if you'd seen this. XD

Between this and their new FB picture, I'm very proud to be one among the fence today.

I, for one, welcome our reptilian overlords.

Scalia is by far the most intelligent justice on the Court today.

Not even close.

" John Roberts is the smartest person on the Supreme Court … and it isn't close. Jeffrey Toobin has called Roberts the Court's best writer since Robert Jackson … he is also the court's most lucid thinker and most persuasive advocate. At every stage in the argument today, it was Roberts who identified and articulated the weaknesses in both sides arguments and it was Roberts who made sure that the lawyers commented on those weaknesses. He and Justice Kagan were operating at a totally different level than the rest of their colleagues today." David From - a Gop stategist
