I hate polygamy but I love the constitution much more than I hate polygamy. There is much to prosecute in the FLDS culture and it needs to be prosecuted. Abandonment of boys, sexual abuse of pubescent girls, possible sexual molestation of children, welfare fraud (every polygamist woman knows who fathered her children) etc.. The government has the tools to go after the perpetrators of these crimes.
But the government has no blanket authority to change someone’s ideology or beliefs. What Texas did is truly scary and it must be vituperated and resisted.
