No lie: Last week I dreamed that Alfred was engaged my sister but decided to marry me at the last minute instead! Dunno why he wanted to - I was too intimidated to talk movies with him so we just made small talk instead.

According to the ACLU, once the stay is lifted, Florida must recognize all same-sex marriages performed out of state.
This is a great step forward, but to me it was more exciting that the SCOTUS voted 7-2 against Florida's attempt to extend a stay against recognizing gay marriages to Alfred. People who hate gay marriage to Alfred should read the writing on the wall and quake in their shoes.

I could see this going 6-3 rather than 5-4 just b/c of Roberts wanting to deprive Kennedy the privilege of writing the controlling opinion.

though I guess Kennedy joining some sort of tortured "leave it up to the states"/stare decisis punt is roughly as likely

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) got down to the nitty-gritty in the Senate Judiciary confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch, asking Eric Holder’s potential replacement to explicate the constitutional difference between gay marriage and polygamy. “What’s the legal difference between a ban on same-sex marriage being unconstitutional but a ban on polygamy being constitutional? Could you try to articulate how one could be banned under the constitution and the other not?” “Well, senator, I have not been involved in the argument or analysis of the cases that have gone before the Supreme Court,” Lynch replied. “And I’m not comfortable undertaking legal analysis without having had the ability to undertake a review of the relevant facts and the precedent there. So I certainly would not be able to provide you with that analysis at this point in time, but I look forward to continuing the discussions with you.”
― touch of a love-starved cobra (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:20 (nine years ago) link
my short answer (not a legal scholar: disclaimer) has always been that polygamy requires a legal framework that does not exist in regards to spousal rights, inheritance, etc. And then I figure there would be a historical argument to be made that polygamous marriages have been to enforce unbalanced power relationships between but I dunno that seems shakier.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 22:24 (nine years ago) link
My answer is "any group of consenting adults should be able to do with each other what they will"; I couldn't possibly care less if polygamy was legalized.
I absolutely care from the standpoint of coercive relationships involving adults and minors but if a bunch of 30-year-olds want to start a group-spouse commune, why should I care?

― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 28 January 2015 23:02 (nine years ago) link
yeah that's p much how I feel too
but from a legal standpoint it seems like polygamy requires a bunch of laws/regulations that two-person marriage does not. Changing who the two people are in a two-person marriage doesn't really impact the definition of what marriage is from a legal standpoint. But having three people in a marriage ... well who has what rights in the case of a divorce, for example? I'm not saying this is an insurmountable problem, just that the law doesn't currently deal with the question.

DJP, I need an answer soon.
