Actually, maybe it is. At least one guy hopes so:
Polygamous Montana man seeks legal marriage license with 2nd wife following Supreme Court same-sex marriage decision: http://t.co/TiwLRb2JYo
— ABC News (@ABC) July 1, 2015
From the AP, via ABC News:
A Montana man said Wednesday that he was inspired by last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage to apply for a marriage license so that he can legally wed his second wife.
Nathan Collier and his wives Victoria and Christine applied at the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings on Tuesday in an attempt to legitimize their polygamous marriage. Montana, like all 50 states, outlaws bigamy — holding multiple marriage licenses — but Collier said he plans to sue if the application is denied.
“It’s about marriage equality,” Collier told The Associated Press Wednesday. “You can’t have this without polygamy.”

Last story is interesting only because it may mark the beginning of serious litigation on this question.

It's neither inevitable nor impossible for the SCT to declare a right to polygamy. It will happen *if* it becomes a fashionable cause.

This is exactly right. And as I wrote earlier, the “fashionable” part is the key. https://t.co/CROEzaV4QC

Substantive due process means no more & no less than that the Constitution protects whatever is fashionable among the legal profession.
