Polygamy isn't even part of the equation.One step at a time.
Sotomayor has carefully been building a wave of lower court support, and how she has at least 6, possibly 7, votes if push comes to shove.
Polygamy is only a minor, minor distraction.
Keep telling yourselves that if it makes you feel good. Just promise me you won't freak out if you're wrong, OK?
Read Windsor and prepare yourselves for possibly your first and most important significant setback. It isn't a total defeat though. Returning the power of defining marriage to the states where it has never left BTW [Windsor's findings on that are retroactive to the founding of the country], is not the end of the line for y'all. You just have to work harder and sell your values state by state to gain approval.
So far you have 3 legally and Windsor-blessed states where gay marriage can happen with a legitmate license. 47 left to go, one by one.
And with all the "majority support" you also profess such confidence in, those 47 states should just be a matter of snapping your fingers, right? Kind of makes you wonder why all this fuss about getting the fed to do your work for you. If you're selling a cluster of values [and not a race or something physicallly distinct], you need to roll up your sleeves and convince everyone in this majority-rules country that the values you're selling are what they want to buy.
