Texas, of course, is home to the largest number of mega churches in the United States. Therefore, it should not be surprising that many of their courts not only defer to, but also are swayed, by religious extremists who often dictate their political beliefs and demands to the like-minded members of the Republican-controlled state legislature, most of who are all too willing to comply.

Recently, the polygamy-practicing Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) sect Yearning For Zion in Eldorado, Texas succeeded in bringing the state’s Child Protection Service (CPS) to its knees by withholding critical information in which FLDS members were implicated in serious charges of pedophilia and child abuse.

Their leader, whom most of their members refer to as their Savior and Prophet, Warren Jeffs, is in prison, convicted in Utah of being an accomplice to child rape.

By switching identification bracelets assigned by the CPS personnel and refusing to name which children or parents belonged to whom, the FLDS congregants managed to get national attention and sympathy while exploiting the botched investigation by the CPS when they collectively rounded up over 400 children, placing them in foster homes throughout the state.

Texas Supreme Court chief justice Wallace B. Jefferson, without even waiting for DNA testing and critical evidence from the DPS, ruled in favor of the FLDS polygamists and pedophiles. The FLDS children were to be returned to their presumed parents.

A Republican, Jefferson was appointed chief justice in September 14, 2004, by Gov. Rick Perry, replacing Justice Alberto Gonzales who resigned to become White House counsel to President George W. Bush. Although Jefferson was elected to the chief justice position in 2006, he ran unopposed.
