Trying to legalize poly would be difficult, and nigh impossible to define.
No more impossible to define than the text of a contract. We already have partnership contracts for business; I'm certain there are lawyers out there that could draft a multi-part civil union.
But I'm not declaring the doom and gloom of a slippery slope. I'm dead serious - if it's so important to grant equal rights separate from anyone's church - basically to uphold the Free Exercise Clause, then why do we let the Edmunds Act of 1882 stand? That states that polygamy is a felony.
The polygamists aren't going to come out with a political action to legalize their situations, to form a bond, to marry someone they deeply love. They'll go to jail. You think the underground sects that believe in this wouldn't do it if it were legal?
