Next Up: When Men Marry Dogs

As predicted by the ever-worried right, a polygamist is attempting to use the Lawrence decision in an appeal to his bigamy conviction.

Of course, there are a few differences - he was also convicted of child rape, as one of his 'wives' was 13, and he was convicted of nosupport of his 30 kids.

Lawrence, also, focused on the right to privacy within your home - and bigamy is about marrying more than 1 person - these two things are not completely the same. And certainly, the state has a compelling interest in protecting 13 year old girls.

While Lawrence doesn't focus on marriage, per se, I'm guessing that any pro-gay marriage decision on a national level might also be used as a defense against Polygamy charges.

It will be interesting to watch this proceed.
