Talk about a slippery slope.

Polygamy and pedophilia are already legal in South Dakota as far as Marty Jackley is concerned. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a known criminal enterprise living in the Black Hills. It's a community where plural marriages to children by old white men are not only accepted they're encouraged.
