It's just a matter of time before all right is wrong and all wrong is right - CBSNews.com has an AP report by Alexandria Sage about a current court battle being waged in Utah for the right to be a polygamist.
As if one wife wasn't enough.
Anyway. The argument for polygamy centers around two things, the freedom of religion and the Supreme Court's ruling last year which effectively legalized sodomy.
How's that for an unholy union?
Here's the start of the AP article:
When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Texas' law against sodomy last year, at least one justice foresaw the likes of Brian Barnard.
Justice Antonin Scalia warned that the ruling would unleash a wave of challenges to state laws against "bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity."
Sure enough, Barnard, a civil rights attorney, has brought a lawsuit challenging Utah's ban on polygamy. And some legal experts say the case could have a fighting chance because of the Supreme Court's gay-sex ruling.
The Great Separation continues.
