Interesting approach to appeal, convicted bigamist appeals to U.S. Supreme Court . . . a straight out defence trying to overturn Reynolds directly. There is a lot to the argument as folks are being prosecuted for polygamy bia the expansive conception that if they are religious polygamists and live together then they must be legally polygamists but folks who live together and are not religious polygamists are not being prosecuted for what is essentially much the same behavior. The argument of selective prosecution is very strong, particularly since there are a number of contemporary cultural mores which fly in the face of this particular practice of picking and choosing who to prosecute.
