#10  Bigamy was actually legal in the US until President Lincoln signed the Morrill Anti-Bigamy Act in 1862 as part of a crackdown on the practices of the newly emergent Mormons.

#8  I think there is a Constitutional Right for any of us to marry dead people, particularly those with huge estates, like the late Howard Hughes. Whether the fiance is still alive or gives consent, is a mere bagatelle that the likes of Elena Kagan can easily reason past.

#2  Well, the state has sanctioned serial polygamy and polyandry with no fault divorce. Is it much of a leap that next we'll see the point that why even go through the paper work ritual. It's not like sperm donors have to support children that aren't of their making. Oh, wait, never mind...
