And even after the State of Texas CPS has evidence that almost all of
the parents are adult age, they are pursuing the case to the Supreme
Court. Why? To save face? Because they don't *like* them? Because the
CPS' religion clashes with the FLDS' religion? You see why I don't
see a difference any more between FLDS and any other quirky group?

The CPS' 'anxiety' seems to have reached absurd levels, which would be
funny, if they didn't have all of that legal power to back them up.
