Myers, Michael G., Polygamist Eye for the Monogamist Guy: Homosexual Sodomy… Gay Marriage…Is Polygamy Next?. 42 Hous. L. Rev. 1451-1486 (2006).
While advocating a restricted judicial role and a narrow reading of constitutional mandates, Walker posits that the decision in Lawrence v. Texas [539 U.S. 558 (2003)] strengthens the claims of polygamists for constitutional protection. To bolster his argument, the author reviews the central polygamy case, Reynolds v. United States [98 U.S. 145 (1878)] and Goodridge v. Department of Public Health [798 N.E. 2d 941 (Mass. 2003)]. Walker informs readers in footnote 1 that he does not advocate polygamy.
