The Church is not going to defer to government on the question of who gets excommunicated.

Oh?

Ever hear of the end of polygamy in 1890?

That was the GOVERNMENT telling the LDS bunch what to do!

Polygamous fundamentalists baptized by proxy into LDS Church, researcher says

Prominent fundamentalist Mormons, most of whom were excommunicated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for practicing polygamy while they were alive, have been posthumously re-baptized in LDS temples, a Salt Lake City researcher says.

Helen Radkey said in a new report that she obtained church records on 20 fundamentalists -- from murderer Ervil LeBaron to Joseph Musser to Rulon Jeffs --- showing that they've been baptized and have had their plural marriages "sealed" for time and eternity by proxy LDS members, one as recently as this year.

(Note that they were excommunicated for breaking WORLDLY law - NOT the law of GOD as described in D&C 132.)
