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 bedsheets 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 Texas for the religious intolerance shown to them. The stories that could be told to a jury would break the hearts of even the coldest of jury members.

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.
They did no such thing. They ordered that the lower court order putting CPS in charge, (sort of, actually granting them custody of the children) be vacated. That was all they were asked to do in the mandamus petition, and that's what they did.
They did point out that there were actions CPS and the lower court could have taken, far short of taking all the children, that would have been within the law, implying that the judge could order those actions taken, which in part she did.
That's right, it is. But CPS implied, to the press and the Court, that the breaks were due to abuse, not basketball. (Or since this is in the Texas countryside, all manner of other things boys in the country do).
Still, absent any activity that could break bones they still showed up pretty consistent with everybody else.
So, what is it that's breaking their bones?
You did realize that Brer’ Jessop spoke in the PLURAL, so, yes.
That's one of the reasons for the new federal standards - "all the information they had" is simply no longer acceptable.
I think you are assuming that someone at the CPS might be smart enough to do that : ) I made the same mistake when I assumed that they might have some people not governed by their emotions : (
Are you suggesting that the 26 women whose identification wasn't acceptable have since obtained ID that meets the new standard? Or did CPS finally do the job weeks after taking people into custody that they should have done within the first few hours?
‘tis a mystery. I wouldn’t at all be surprised to find that Texas doesn’t really care what kind of ID folks have.
They are boys, they live on a 1700 acre ranch in pretty rough country.
You figure it out.
CPS and the LEOs don't need to trust it, they can verify it with a simple phone call or computer inquiry. They apparently did not bother, else they'd have found that the IDs were valid, and the "underage girls" were adults, just as the women said.
That's why I asked you for the rest of the equation.
Farming is extremely hazardous.
My understanding is their agricultural activity involves gardening, not commercial farming.
LOL!
You think that the picture of Jessop kissing a 12 year old girl won’t be admitted?
LOL!
That should say Jeffs, not Jessop.
But they are serious. I don't know where that paper is from but since it is called the Beehive, I will assume it is from somewhere in Mormon Country. Not suprising that some Mormons have turned into Molester Defenders, after all their first Prophet molested 2 14 year old girls. Bird of a feather......
From the article: They should punish CPS to wear the badge of intolerance that they have so rightly earned. Every CPS member should have to wear a swastika for just a day to remind them of how easy it is to be part of a larger group that seems to be in the right in the sway and passion of the moment, only to be "found out" when the evidence comes rolling in.
Sounds like something the Danites would approve of.
The first sentence should say PARODY!
Consider the source.

Can you name a single allegation that you or the CPS has made regarding the FLDS at YFZ that has been demonstrated to be true?
Child molesting?
As in child brides?
Did not Willie come out and say they won’t do it ANYMORE?
Is that not an admission of past guilt?
Did we not see the leader Jeffs frenching a 12 year old? Do those cultists not think he is perfect and what he did was not wrong?
