I can *kind of* see the judge's point.

Mormons: "Your ban on polygamy is an unfair infringment on our religious freedom. The specific implementation of the religious practice you're outlawing involves great harm to our members and society in general."

Judge: "Your practice involves great harm to your members and society in general. Laws restricting *your* practice of this are thus a justifiable infringment on your religious freedom"

Poly people: "But what about OUR freedom? The law also restricts us, and we don't harm society when we do this."

Judge: "This case is about if the law is just in restricting THEM from doing it THEIR WAY, not about if it's just restricting YOUR WAY. If you were the plaintiff, maybe, but you're not. Nobody is asking if the infringment on YOUR rights is justified, only if the infringement on THEIR rights is justified. And them? They're fucked up."
