Will Polygamy be the Next "Right" Needing Protection

Ban on plural marriage questioned
Personal beliefs? Attorney for ex-police officer asks the Utah Supreme Court to decriminalize polygamy, triggering a constitutional discussion

A lawyer for polygamous former Hildale police officer Rodney Holm urged the Utah Supreme Court on Thursday to lift a ban on plural marriage, and justices responded with sharp questions about whether the ban is constitutional.
Attorney Rodney Parker argued his client has a right not only to believe in a religious tenet of polygamy but also to practice his belief in a meaningful way.

Of course, if this is deemed to be a "right", one can only imagine the other sick and perverted "rights" that would be in need of "protection"!

Hat Tip to The Curt Jester for the story.
