Gee, i think the state of Texas will win, if the fear of prosecution with the DNA results runs the polygs back to Utah.
It is what Texas wanted all along.
“The ambiguity of current Texas law has allowed for alleged crimes to be committed under the practice of religious freedom. Allegations including, but not limited to, practices of bigamy, polygamy, child abuse, incest, domestic violence, child endangerment, denial of equal education services or opportunities, election and welfare fraud are rampant in these religious sects, also known as “The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that while the government may not restrict religious beliefs, they may restrict religious practices. The court has said that no religious actions may violate general laws. Underage marriage, parental consent, education issues, and election fraud are all general laws. . . ”

If the polygs cut and run back to Utah, Texas wins.
If they stay they can be prosecuted with the DNA results under Texas law.
Looks like the only loozers are the kiddos to me, michele.
