Uh...then why did this country outlaw polygamy? Isn't that form a marriage a fundamental right, especially considering it has a first amendment basis with freedom of religion?

Bottom line, when it comes to the kind of marriage you like, you're quick to invoke the Constitution (though it doesn't apply and should be left up to the states). When it's not the kind you like, you don't make a peep. If this had been a polygamist marriage case going to the Supreme Court, instead of a gay marriage case, you and a lot of others here would have been arguing against polygamist marriage and saying there was no Constitutional basis for it. Your hypocrisy is so transparent it's not even funny.
