I give it about 10 years until there is major whining for polygamy to be legally recognized.
And at that time we look at the potential measurable affects of that occurring. If those wanting it have a plan to overcome polygamy conflicting with the current marriage laws, I personally don't have an issue with polygamy. But the arguments for and against polygamy are not the same as those for same sex marriage. There are a lot of logistical issues that arise when you are talking about more than two people being involved in the marriage contract. And same sex marriage and polygamy also would not be at the same scrutiny level under the 14th.
I believe that the 14th applies to same sex marriage due to the arguments for and against same sex marriage, and how same sex marriage compares, overall, to opposite sex marriage. That is the same way I would look at polygamy.
