Due process concerns for the FLDS situation
1. The standard that the judge had to use to make a decision was whether a child 1) had been abused or 2) was in imminent danger of abuse.
This was what the ACLU said as reported by Catholic News: Quote:
2. The lack of hearings for each child to consider that child's unique circumstances. There are reports that some children were visiting and had been there for only a few days. Again from the ACLU: Quote:

From the DN: Quote:
5. Lastly, this is not a legal argument, but an argument that the judge has admitted, I think, to being incompetent and unable to handle the case: Quote:

The same people who laud this judge for cracking down on the FLDS pedophiles probably defend to the hilt pedophiles who are let go all around this country by liberal judges. |

Texas justice, a six shooter and asking questions of the deceased.
That hearing was a joke, and hello 1983 actions galore. I wish I would receive some of those fees to be earned. That is an example of the worst of American justice, although there are some beauts now and then.

Please do not come here and say "due process wasn't possible."
You sound like a moron. And I'm serious. |

Apparently, you have judges in Texas who betray your state.

the fact that in Texas judges are nothing more than elected politicians makes abuses by them more likely as they seek nothing more than to be popular in the community so they can be reelected. And then of course the lawyers who bring cases to them contribute to their campaigns, creating a huge conflict of interest.
