On Monday, The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article about a recent court case involving New York Civil Court Judge Karen May Bacdayan. It seems that the judge has now codified the right to polygamy.<\/p>\n

The article article reports:<\/p>\n

The case before the court involved three men: Scott Anderson, Markyus O\u2019Neill, and Robert Romano. Anderson and Romano had been \u201clife partners\u201d for 25 years, had joint bank accounts, and were named as beneficiaries on each other’s retirement accounts. The two men maintained separate apartments, however, \u201cto provide them comfort and space.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enter O\u2019Neill, who met Anderson in 2011 and moved into his rent-controlled apartment in 2012. O\u2019Neill and Romano both knew about each other, but according to O\u2019Neill, Romano did not like him. Romano admits that they were not friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anderson apparently carried on amicable relationships with both men until he died, at which point O\u2019Neill tried to renew Anderson\u2019s rent-controlled lease and was denied by the landlord. The landlord then sued to evict O\u2019Neill, who claims he is entitled to renew Anderson\u2019s lease as a \u201cnontraditional family member\u201d under New York law. The landlord claims O\u2019Neill is undeserving of that label, as Anderson was already a life partner with Romano.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Judge Bacdayan sided with O\u2019Neill, writing, \u201cThe existence of a triad should not automatically dismiss respondent\u2019s claim to noneviction protections.\u201d That Romano never consented to having O\u2019Neill join his family was unimportant to Judge Bacdayan. \u201cWas the relationship a \u2018good\u2019 one?\u201d Judge Bacdayan asks. \u201cIt seems equally as unimportant as considering sexual relations to delve into the level of happiness in a relationship. Is one stripped of their rights to \u2018marital property\u2019 on the basis of having a \u2018bad\u2019 marriage?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

In his Obergefell v. Hodges<\/i> dissent, Chief Justice John Roberts warned that recognition of same-sex marriage would inevitably lead to the recognition of plural marriages. Judge Bacdayan notes this warning in her opinion and proves him right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luckily, there is a conservative majority on the Supreme Court that would never redefine marriage to add polygamous unions to the list of relationships that the state must recognize.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the Democrats want to add seats to the Supreme Court, and if they do, you can be sure they will find enough Judge Bacdayans to make their vision of the law a reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If\u00a0 you are comfortable with polygamy becoming an acceptable way of life in America, keep electing Democrats who appoint liberal judges or keep electing liberal judges.<\/p>\n
