In Sunday’s Washington Times is a story that frequent NRO contributor Stanley Kurtz has been warning about for years: that advocates of polygamy see their cause as “the next civil rights battle,” to be fought out, naturally, in the courts. The disclaimers of homosexual marriage advocates that their victories in various courts have no implications for polygamy as the next stage in constitutional “evolution,” are, equally naturally, unconvincing. This special report by the Times’ Cheryl Wetzstein is a very important snapshot of where we are now, and a warning of where we may be going.
