It'll be interesting to see how long banning recognition of poly marriages survives after this. It would be the next logical extension: if banning marriage based on one distinction like sexual orientation is illegal, can banning it based on other distinctions like number of partners hold up for long? The precedent has been set.
Eventually this'll all probably lead to getting government out of the business of recognition of marriages at all; it'll just be too messy a business, with too much litigation involved.
