It does if marriage is construed to be afundamental right, doesn't it? Surely you see this? That's why I asked you to define what you consider a fundamental right? It helps me get inside your brain.
Tim-
No, I don't see this. And you, and everyone else, has failed to demonstrate how it is.
I've demonstrated how, regarding how I view the issue, that it falls under equal protection because GENDER is clearly and unquestionably a protected status.
You, and others, have completely and utterly failed to put forth ANY reasoning or ANY argument why "number of people" is somehow protected under the EPC.
Once you figure that out, or find some other way to actually make an argument for polygamists having a right to marry multiple people under the constitution, perhaps I can address it.
So far you, and everyone else, have just gone "Um...but...uh, POLYGAMY! You say marriage is a right, so I'm going to ignore your arguments as to WHY specifically same sex should be legal, and just say that means you HAVE to support polygamy as well".
This threads not about fundamental rights, and god knows there's dozens of threads dedicated to that. Since what is or isn't a fundamental right is irrelevant to my argument I'm not going to bother with it.
I am stating as of now marriage is a constitutional right. I am stating that becuase the courts have found it to be a cosntitutional right, and until such time as that's over turned that is the case.
