Texas
High Court Saves Constitution in Polygamy Ruling

We fully expect some kind of damages suit to be filed
against the state of Texas either in behalf of the FLDS or on some members or
their children -- This will go down as
one of the greatest mistakes of law enforcement, Child Protective Services and
the court system. We anticipate that in
Texas and all across the US that the absolute power of CPS will be scrutinized
their unconstitutional procedures examined and there will be a rolling back of this
agency’s across the board powers – and the rights of their accused being run
roughshod over and treated instantly as being guilty and have the burden of
proof to prove their innocence to any accusations, and their children being
removed with little or no evidence. And by little we are speaking of evidence
that would not pass muster in any court hearing on the basis of admissible
evidence. The result of this is a good thing to all home schooling households
and all bible believing spirit-filled and conservative households.
At issue still on other fronts is our freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, freedom of association, and freedom of religion that all forces are
at work to abridge.
The lies to justify this outrageous behavior
started from the beginning. First, it was an affidavit from police officers
about the children all being in danger to the brain-washing culture of the
FLDS. Then it was the accusation that bed sheets were found "used" in
the FLDS temple. Then it was the alleged discovery of dozens of pregnant
underage girls.

Bit-by-bit we have seen the accusations made by law enforcement to support
their Nazi-like detainment of a religious group and confinement
of others lose credibility. First, we learned that these underage
pregnant women were actually adults -- in one case a 27 year old woman.

CPS immediately filed an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court. Most telling was
the request of the Texas Supreme Court in asking CPS if they had any more
evidence than that which was found on the record. In other words, the Texas
Supreme Court was saying to CPS "You're kidding us right? You've got to
have more evidence to justify your stupid behavior than what you have presented
to us."
The Court gave CPS two more days to submit more
proof. When they couldn't present any more supporting evidence, the Texas Supreme
Court handed down the equivalent of a condemnation to CPS and a stern word or
two for the judge who had allowed the action against the FLDS families.

Instead of being ashes in the ruins of their temple, the FLDS now have
the opportunity to collect millions from the taxpayers of

The greatest harm done here was the breach of trust. The government has the
absolute authority to act absolutely, and without check upon authority and
power. This is the very thing that the founding father's feared.
