=========================================================== ...The state of Texas should not have removed children from a polygamist sect's ranch because it didn't prove they were in "imminent danger," an appeals court ruled Thursday. ===========================================================
I predict that as a result of all this brouhaha some jackass will introduce a Bill into the Texas Legislature defining "endangerment to a child" as living in a polygamous family, or one in which the mother is underage, and holding that this by itself constitutes "emminent danger". This, as with all other asinine laws in Texas, will then be passed by anonymous "acclamation".
As has been made abundantly clear in anti-male divorce law, no statute which imposes arbitrary punishment on someone, provided that he is a member of the particular "class" of persons chosen to be victimized, can be considered to have resulted in any denial of "due process" as long as the particular law providing for this victimization is followed. This is true even if the law in question specifically DOES deny such due process, to individuals, as for example the Texas law requiring a court's presumption of an equal division of assets in a divorce does. The hysteria driven fools will then go back and take the children away AGAIN!
