The issues with polygamy are all of the penumbra issues like inheritance, divorce, government benefits, taxes, child support, inbreading, sexual violence, pedophilia, and the societal issues that stem from it.

The question that will be posited going forward is whether these issues make pedophilia so dangerous of a practice by its nature that these problems are bound to follow it so much so that it Trumps the liberty interest. I think Scalia's dissent in Obergefeld has set this debate up, and that polygamy will be legalized barring a massive culture shift on the Supreme Court (3 more conservatives)

I agree with you, but polygamy has a plaintiff problem. Where in the world do you find a sympathetic plaintiff to bring the case? I think you have to have some kind of immigrant who can't have his multiple wives from the old country or something like that. And when is the ACLU or whomever going to find that guy?

You're not going to be able to bring some fubdamentalist out of a bunker in Utah to plead the case that's for sure.

Good. Let civil courts handle inheritance or insurance problems. Who cares.
