"If you are going to conduct yourself that way, we are going to prosecute you," Perry said

I believe the state is the only one to be proven wrong so far in this case.

Yes, I can’t remember which country that was. France maybe?

(Right. 'Cause all those Texas Baptists sittin' on a civil jury are so in tune with polygamy & "prophet" placement marriage for teens to older men they might as well get advanced loans)

Nah it will be in Federal Court and the Clinton appointees will be happy to stick it to Texas.

I don’t remember. He sure seems to be traveling a lot lately though.

Maybe he’s auditioning for Secretary of State! I think his ambitions go far beyond Texas.

Yet he turns a blind eye to people illegally crossing our border every minute of the day and night.

Uh Huh. I think SOS is a tad too low though.

It is a Federal case, federal jury.

I bet a change of venue out of Texas is easy. Every single Texan has a financial stake in the outcome and can not be expected to be neutral.

This sounds like “all coloreds leave town by sundown...” and by the by... what is the governor of Texas doing at a European business conference when his state is being infiltrated by illegal aliens.. who often commit real crimes that can be proven with actual evidence.

I liked the part where he says he is going to prosecute them, before there has even been a criminal investigation. I thought that the CPS acted stupidly, but it seems like the Governor is in competition with them for the award.

Isn't there a saying about the fish rotting from the head first?

He is auditioning for something, but I don't think he has the popularity in Texas to "deliver it" to a presidential candidate, for instance. Maybe he has his eye on Kay Bailey's senate seat? In any case, his is a mental and political lightweight. I think he is much more sold on himself than anyone else is. Once he can't deliver spoils anymore, he will dry up and fade away (except for his hair, which will live on and begin its own series of adventures).

I live in Texas and strongly disagree with Gov Perry about TTC, HPV vaccine, and his views on border enforcement. He is correct on this one though.

FLDS might be more at home in Arkansas where it is common for 14 year old girls to marry family members and have babies.

Not to worry the truthful FLDS leadership has proclaimed they won’t be allowing the marriage of underage girls any longer..... Now we know they wouldn’t lie about what they are going to do in the future. Now would they?

‘Had they followed due process they would not have had this trouble.”

novel concept, the State of Tx appears to be above the law. They took 430+ kids from their families without due process and in violation of the law. They have now placed restrictions on those families without any evidence of a crime.

Polygamy is destructive. Child rape is worthy of the death penalty. Uncontrolled governments have killed far more people than either of those.

Oh cmon, we all know that middle aged men from Arkansas prefer interns.
