A petition for
certiorari (
full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday in
Brown v. Buhman. In the case, U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed on mootness grounds the constitutional challenge to Utah's bigamy law that had been filed by the polygamous family from the television show "Sister Wives." (See
prior posting). A federal district court had held most of Utah's plural marriage ban unconstitutional. (See
prior posting.) Jonathan Turley who represents petitioners
discusses the filing on his blog.
