You Knew This Was Coming

I'm surprised it took this long actually.



Polygamous Montana trio applies for wedding license 

 

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana man said Wednesday that he was inspired by last week's U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife.
Nathan Collier and his wives Victoria and Christine applied at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings on Tuesday in an attempt to legitimize their polygamous marriage. Montana, like all 50 states, outlaws bigamy — holding multiple marriage licenses — but Collier said he plans to sue if the application is denied.
"It's about marriage equality," Collier told The Associated Press Wednesday. "You can't have this without polygamy."
County clerk officials initially denied Collier's application, then said they would consult with the county attorney's office before giving him a final answer, Collier said.
Yellowstone County chief civil litigator Kevin Gillen said he is reviewing Montana's bigamy laws and expected to send a formal response to Collier by next week.
"I think he deserves an answer," Gillen said, but added his review is finding that "the law simply doesn't provide for that yet."

I'm waiting for the pet freaks myself.
You know that shit is just a matter of time.

I don't know about you, but I'm hugely entertained.

Legalize human/robot marriage now!

Sure, why not? The Supreme Court has just decided that the fifty "sovereign states" have no authority whatsoever to regulate marriage in any way, shape, form, or fashion within their borders. Polygamy, polyandry, group marriages, brother-sister marriages, creepy old guys marrying six-year-olds, people marrying their motorcycles, people marrying their dogs, sure. Any law against such things is "unconstitutional" and "discrimination," and any societal disapproval is equivalent to Naziism. The Nine Kings in Black have spoken, and their whim is law.
