And no court ever will, the notion is ignorant and ridiculous.My point is simple: that Obergfell hasn't been used by any court to overturn any polygamy bans.You are a boring waste of time. If you want to know, then find the transcript and briefs of the trial.
Laughing......and once again, you expect us to take your word for it.
Here's the initial Brown v. Buhman decision

Show us the Obergefell ruling being used to justify overturning bigamy bans. .
Here's the 10th circuit follow up.

Laughing.....I won't hold my breath.
Do you have a point? Why don't you post up the briefs filed by Turley.
Which I just demonstrated....twice. As Obergefell isn't even mentioned in either ruling. Let alone cited to overturn bigamy laws.
But don't let the evidence get in the way of a good rant. You never have before.
Obergfell was used by Turley regardless of what you can find on Google or you inadequacy and lack of resources to be able to find the briefs.
Laughing.....and the court didn't agree with any of his reasoning, never once citing Obergefell in any of their rulings.
Exactly as I said. And the ban on bigamy stood.
Try to move the goal posts all you like. My point remains gloriously and pristinely unchallenged: That no court has ever used Obergefell to overturn any polygamy law.
And we both know I'm right.
Obergefell is the progeny of long-standing 14th Amendment jurisprudence prohibiting the states from engaging in class legislation, and denying citizens their right to due process and equal protection of the law for no other reason than who they are, in this case being gay.
The case law guiding the Obergefell Court has nothing whatsoever to do with laws prohibiting bigamy, which are perfectly appropriate and Constitutional, as the state’s desire to prevent fraud with regard to marriage contracts is rational and justified.
Last, prior to Obergefell, the courts already invalidated the Nation’s only law prohibiting polygamy in Utah; citizens in all 50 states are at liberty to live in a polygamous relationship if they so desire.
