So let's say that it's 2006 and the Supreme Court has just invalidated state laws that ban gay marriage. Someone in Utah says, "Well if the gays get to marry, and they're all sinful and against God's will and everything, I don't see why Mormons have to put up with this only having one wife B.S. After all, having multiple wives makes you closer to God*, so the Church should repeal the prohibition against bigamy. At the next Church meeting, the leaders vote to repeal, and the next week, legislation is introduced to repeal Utah's bigamy statute.
Here's the question: How likely is this scenario and how would the rest of America react?
* This was an actual LDS teaching, but after realizing that the US would not allow them to become a state, a Mormon leader had a revelation that multiple wives should not be allowed "yet."
