I think it’s pretty clear that the state is quite right in its suspicions as to what is going on with this cult.

The present laws are not well suited for dealing with such organized abuse. The answer is to change the laws to something that works, not to ignore the present laws in the service of a “higher good.”

I have had “issues” with Rick Perry thru out the years. As I have with most politicians. I have gained more respect for him in the stance he has taken on this. He is not a “shoe in” in 2010, just as he eked out a narrow victory in 2008. He didn't try to distance himself from the situation.

The suspicion was more than warranted. Just last week the FLDS spokesman said they will abide by the laws of the state (translation=we won't do that no more).

The execution was poor. But, I believe, the criminal investigation continues.

According to the Constitution, we still have freedom of association, freedom of religion and free speech - all of which the state of TX tried to stomp all over.

I read an article saying Warren Jeffs’ lawyers filed a petition to quash all evidence extracted as a result of the raid on the FLDS because all the “evidence” was tainted due to it being seized as a result of a false report.

Your tag line seems to contradict your stand on the FLDS.
