A good day, for the only real Americans, the ones who believe in E Q U A L I T Y.

Oh, and someone hide all guns, knives, ropes, and tall buildings from Sil. She'll be having a very bad day...

Reagan appointee Anthony Kennedy is the key swing vote.

Basis of decision centered on equal protection, apparently. IOW, duh!

I was hoping for 6-3 but WTH, either works.

There is no reason for liberals to oppose declaring polygamist marriage constitutional.
If several women and one man want to marry, who are we to tell them no?

Welcome to the Institution of Marriage gay kids, and I'm not kidding about that institutional part...

 

[hunarcy]

Wow!! That's amazing! Great news!!

I agree. States MUST recognize the licenses legally granted by other states. Which also means my concealed carry permit must be recognized by all other states.

Big win and you didn't even realize the ramifications.

 

[G.T.]

Great, great news for this Country. Finally had the backbone to do the right thing.

Congratulations, gay people.

Polygamy is not monogamy. The two forms of marriage are unrelated. Let the polygamists fight their own battle.

If the polygamists have an equal protection argument,

they had it long before same sex marriage became an issue.
