They'll have to add 2 extra pages for dependents on the 1040.

It is nothing either of us in interested in but we do not have a problem if someone else wants to do it. Whit all that's going on in the world today it is nothing I will loose a seconds sleep over.

Once I tried two at a time, and it worked pretty well, actually. They competed for my affections a bit. Both had good jobs, and we three could afford some luxuries that a one or two bread-winner set up would have found a stretch. It was H  ll when their periods synchronized!

I fully agree with your last comment, to the year. The former stuff I cannot imagine.

There's certainly more historical support for polygamy than gay marriage.
Based on the ruling the Court handed down, I don't see how they can deny polygamists the right to marry. Basically, Kennedy said if you love someone, that's all that matters.
Frankly, I don't care one way or the other.

I have a problem with it if Jebediah claims his 20 children and his 6 wives as dependents on his 1040. I'm sure that will help the tax rolls..... Tax codes can be written to limit the number of exemptions. 
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.

I have more respect for a guy who claims to have four wives and is trying to raise his ten kids- than for a guy with one wife, is screwing ten others, and has no idea how many kids he has.

I gave this subject some thought back in my younger days, and figured it could work if a fella had all his wives working shift work - on different shifts, so no more than one would be "home" at any given time. Your mind can take strange turns after a week of 12 hour night shifts in a chemical plant!

In general, polygamists have the wives/kids settled in different homes altogether, and the husband simply makes his rounds visiting each set. The wives/kids rarely actually live together.
Polyamory is certainly coming, as there is no logical legal argument to be made against it following Obergefell.
There will be even more unusual legal unions coming soon after as well.
Anything goes out there--be careful folks!

as has been often said, the penalty for bigmany is having two wives.
but seriously, polygamy has been with us a long time. both the ancient Hebrews and others have practiced polygamy as standard issue social structure.
it still goes on in many parts of the world. but a husband-wife economic and family unit is very efficient toward both production and consumption.
the gov't should stay out of all marriage, no matter it's style, type, or sort.

About time this law was done away with, if you can stand more than one wife at time then you should be able to go for it. Real marriage is finished in this country today.

Since the court decision was based on the logic of "whatever makes you happy", this should sail right through.
