Texas Joins Utah in Declaring Right to Child Molestation

A Texas appeals court has decided there was no evidence to support the seizing of the FLDS children (Are you telling me, oh Great Black Robed Ones, there was NO EVIDENCE of a pattern of underage pregnancies by adult males? I'm incredulous, but then you are Texas judges, which means you're probably illiterate.). Great. Now these clowns will act with even greater impudence, believing that God will keep justice from stopping their holy perversions. I'm beginning to think that their sick God (the one also worshiped by what seems to be a majority of Christians, although they try to hide it), really does run this country, which would explain a lot.

This much I know: Any society that so utterly fails to protect its most at risk members needs to go down for the protection of us all. Fortunately, the US is in the process of destroying itself. The Rethuglicans have done such a job that there may be nothing to do but sit back, crack open a cold one, and watch the great train wreck.

Speaking of pervs...

...the Texas raid on the FLDS compound is proceeding to the hearing stage. The news there is full of stories of how the courts, the state bar, law enforcement, social service agencies, and many others are working together to overcome the logistical nightmare of such a big case in such an isolated area so that the kids are protected while everybody gets a fair day in court. The Utah news, on the other hand, is full of histrionics about how the Texas authorities have gone too far and how the children are being traumatized by separation from their parents (as opposed to the trauma of being a child bride [for the girls] or being brainwashed into believing having a child bride is a good idea [for the boys]). This state is just sick.
