If you take away the historically accepted premise of 1 man and 1 woman, then who really gets to define what it means now?
IMO, the courts made a very interesting ruling. They ruled that love (or however you want to define that) is the deciding factor, not gender. Gays always had the same rights to marry as heteros, they just couldn't marry someone of the same sex. So marriage had to be changed to include the people you love regardless of sex. It's another step to redefine it in terms of quantity. However, since the determining factor is now love, not gender then I am sure in another 20 or 30 years, we'll have polygamy legal.
