On Monday, April 18, 2016, I was interviewed as a guest on The Jayne Carroll Show, on KUIK in Washington Country, Oregon, that aired at 4:35pm local time (7:pm ET).
This interview pertained to the breaking news cycle about polygamy from Monday, April 11, 2016: the 10th Circuit Reversed “Sister Wives” case as “moot.” Rather than even hear the merits of the case, the 10th Circuit Court determined that, since the Prosecutor had promised not to specifically prosecute the Brown Family, the Brown family’s legal “standing” to file suit was rendered moot.
This interview went very well and became yet another tool for UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) supporters to share when discussing the issues with others.
On Wednesday, April 13, 2016, I was interviewed as a guest on The Christal Frost Show, on WTCM in Traverse City, Michigan, that aired at 11:30 am ET.
The purpose of this interview pertained to the breaking polygamy news cycle from Monday, April 11, 2016: the 10th Circuit Reversed “Sister Wives” case as “moot.” Rather than even hear the merits of the case, the 10th Circuit Court determined that, since the Prosecutor had promised not to specifically prosecute the Brown Family, the Brown family’s legal “standing” to file suit was rendered moot.
This comprehensive interview became another tool for UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) supporters to share when discussing the issues with others.
On Monday, April 11, 2016, the U.S. Circuit Court Appeals for the Tenth District, in Denver Colorado, formally reversed the lower court’s decision in the Brown v. Buhman case. This is the case of the Kody Brown polygamous family from the reality-TV series, “Sister Wives.”
Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we hold this matter is moot. It is not a “Case” or “Controversy” under Article III of the U.S. Constitution. We remand to the district court with instructions to vacate the judgment and dismiss this action.
On Monday, February 1, 2016, I was interviewed as a guest on Poppoff with Mary Jane Popp, on KAHI in Sacramento, California, that aired at 6:30 pm local time (9:30 pm ET my time zone).
The purpose of this interview pertained to the ongoing polygamy news cycle from Thursday, January 21, 2016: the “Sister Wives” case, Brown v. Buhman, being heard at the Tenth District U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Denver, Colorado.
The actual interview occurred at 4:30pm ET. Instead of being a live interview, it turned out to be an unedited “lve on tape” interview.
This comprehensive interview became another tool for UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) supporters to share when discussing the issues with others.
On Wednesday, January 27, 2016, I was interviewed as a guest on The Tom Barnard Show, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 12:30 pm local time (1:30 pm ET my time zone).
This interview was based on the ongoing polygamy news cycle from Thursday, January 21, 2016: the “Sister Wives” case, Brown v. Buhman, being heard at the Tenth District U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Denver, Colorado.
The long-experienced professional host, Tom Barnard, initially expected this to be a humorous interview, and he certainly had a great sense of humor. By the end of the interview, he seemed pleasantly and positively surprised at both the seriousness of the discussion and by my comprehensive expertise. Generously addressing me as “Sir” at the end, he very positively said he looked forward to having me back again and that the topic was certainly “fascinating.”
This interview provided yet another useful tool for activists of unrelated consenting adult polygamy – UCAP – to share when discussing the issues with others.
On Monday, January 25, 2016, I was invited as a guest with The Real Bob Mitchell, on WWL in New Orleans, Louisiana, at 2:35 pm local time (3:35 pm ET my time zone).
I was asked to share my polygamy expertise regarding the news of Thursday, January 21, 2016, when the “Sister Wives” case, Brown v. Buhman, was heard at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, in Denver, Colorado.
The host, Bob Mitchell, is a renowned local fixture on radio for decades. During the interview, he declared how he could not understand how or why any law would be going after people without more than one marriage license. I thanked him and said, “Exactly!” He joked that he would be willing to go to the court and explain that for us!
As with other interviews before it, this interview became another useful tool for supporters of unrelated consenting adult polygamy – UCAP – to share when discussing the issues with others.
For Monday, January 25, 2016, I was invited as a guest on The Bill Meyer Show, on KMED in Medfield, Oregon, at 7:10 am local time (10:10 am ET my time zone).
I was asked to come on the show to answer questions regarding the news of Thursday, January 21, 2016, when the “Sister Wives” case, Brown v. Buhman, was heard at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, in Denver, Colorado.
I was more than happy to answer questions about UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) as well as the specifics of the case in court.
The hour portion of that episode (less ad-spots) was posted on the show’s website. My actual interview occurs from 7:45 – 22:35. Just before I went on, I got the impression that the host was anticipating that I might be be some whining liberal-type, demanding government recognition of UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy). But as the interview progressed, he seemed to quite positively realize that I was definitely not that at all. Indeed, after the interview was finished, as the host continued to talk about the topic afterward with callers, he even said, at 26:00, to a caller, “I think that Mark was right!”
Overall, this interview became another useful tool for UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) activists to share when discussing the issues with others.
The issue of unrelated consenting adult polyamy (UCAP) is proceeding through the courts.
On Thursday, January 21, 2016, the “Sister Wives” case, formally known as Brown v. Buhman, was being heard at the Tenth District Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. This court is the very last court before proceeding up to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).
To explain the issues of UCAP polygamy and that particular case, I began giving many media interviews.
For the next afternoon (Friday, January 22, 2016), I was scheduled for 2:05pm ET to give an interview on The Bill Cunningham Show, on 700 WLW, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The host was professional and respectful, asking several excellent questions, both about polygamy and the Brown v. Buhman case. The interview was subsequently posted to youtube, titled, Mark Henkel on Bill Cunningham Show – 1-22-2016 – Polygamy
After it was posted, the posted youtube was also announced on twitter.
Serendiptously, this interview has become an excellent tool for supporters of UCAP (unrelated consenting adult polygamy) to use for explaining the issues.
