I'll be concerned when they stop having hearings or stop allowing the press access to the hearings. Texas judges are elected, right? That seems to me less fascist than a federal judge appointed for life.

Sounds right, but there are exceptions. I have an acquaintance who is a very vocal atheists and detests all forms of religion. Like many of you he happens to be an attorney. The day of the raid, he went nuts about the civil rights angle of the case – he's very libertarian. In fact, he was the first person I knew who had me consider the other side of the case (from the perspective of the FLDS).
