One would expect exactly that kind of response from an advocate. It doesn’t mean they’re right. Frankly, I think Hamilton has a little bit more expertise in this area than any of those lawyers.
FLDS Supreme Court Decision Possible Today

A Texas Supreme Court decision on a state appeal was actually expected Wednesday but instead the high court asked for another legal brief from attorneys representing the families of 120 FLDS children currently in state custody.
The Third Court of Appeals ruled last week in favor of some of the FLDS families clearing the way for those children to be returned but the state appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court saying in part that if the children are returned the families could leave the state once reunited.
Attorneys for Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid worked late into the night preparing this latest legal brief that is due to be delivered to the Supreme Court this morning, leading to speculation that the high court might rule today or tomorrow on the issue. Rio Grande Legal Aid spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez isnt bothered by the long hours. "We are committed to these women and if the state needs a response by 9 they will get a response by 9."
