California law discriminates against polygamist's in such a way that limits the fundamental right to marry more than one, who's affections, and emotional bond is uniquely singular. CA law requires that only two people, of independent standing, can substantively experience the love, and the emotional ties that impart the wanting of a marriage commitment, whereas, the polygamist is limited by CA law, in the wanting of marriage among as many persons the individual's they themselves loves, and maintains the emotional ties that impart the very same wanting of a marriage commitment. There is no legal precedent that concludes with a condition that the fundamental right that marriage carries, be of only two people, only that people have the fundamental right to marriage. It is CA law that places a limitation on the number of individuals that can experience the same kind of wanting, and love, and emotional ties that bind a marriage commitment.
Therefore, it is my opinion, that the State of CA discriminates against polygamist, and their practice, by limiting their practice altogether, rendering a polygamist as less worthy of the same protections of love, and marriage, by limiting the amount of people the polygamist can share those natural affections for the wanting of marriage.
Thoughts?
Tim-
My thought is that the legal structure of a polygamist/polyandrous marriage system is so foreign to the American legal tradition that introducing such arguments into the same-sex marriage discussion is nothing but a trojan horse intended to move the discussion away from the issues relevant to same-sex marriage.
My thought is also that while there is nothing intrinsically immoral or amoral about polygamy and polyandry, the construction of the necessary legal framework would be the work of decades.
My thought is, finally, that there's nothing unconstitutional about polygamy and polyandry.
