No, they never addressed the issue as a Constitutional one from the beginning, just a procedural question as to whether the situation met CPS’s own guidelines. It will never go any further that that. The kids are home, for now, and CPS was not removed from authority over the investigation, which would have happened if it was a civil rights issue.

Anything else is a leap, one which has been made here over and over again.

It is unconstitutional to hold an adult as a minor that provided the requisite paperwork for instance. That hasn’t even been dealt with yet. They did that in several documented cases. Also, from a constitutional assessment the courts determined that they can not be treated as one entity but must be treated individually under the law. What parts of the constitution do you disagree with or what parts of being treated individually as required by Texas law (as determined by the appeals court and the Texas Supreme court) don’t you understand? The courts ruled on the basis of those two items, and the Texas statutes are clear on individual due process which did not happen in the initial hearing. Two upper courts determined that. All laws are looked at as written and then if the upper courts had upheld the unlawful ruling, then the flds folks would have had the opportunity to challenge the laws as constitutional or not. So far, the Texas law is constitutional but the court actions did not abide by the law in a constitutional manner.

This is pretty clear to me. From day one, many of us said you cannot treat all 400 plus cases as one case. You have a constitutional right to individual due process.
