btw, your read of Stogner v CA is inappropriate here. That was a case on the statue of limitations and retroactive application. My interest in this thread is squarely on

1. NID
2. USA
3. 2009 - future

And yes, the US constitution is an incredible document...while the individuals who are involved in its modifications, interpretation, and application are imperfect, I would not choose to live under any other.

The US Supreme Court Ruling impacts every state.

Again, lets focus on the activities of the FLDS within this country which victimize children.

Not a new phenomenon - this article indicates a more widespread problem.

Canadian women 'spilling' into Idaho polygamous community prompts study

[norcalmom101]

Looks like FLDS benefits from local government contracts in Idaho just like they did from DOD contracts:
North Idaho polygamist sect drawing new scrutiny | KOMO News - Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional

an excerpt:
"Still other public records show that in the past few years, S & L Underground has gotten millions of dollars in public works contracts, including $1.32 million in water line jobs from the city of Bonners Ferry.

The general contractor also has been awarded bids by the city of Troy, Mont., the Worley, Idaho, highway district and the Idaho Department of Transportation.

In 2005, S & L Underground was awarded a $1.9 million contract by the city of Coeur d'Alene to build a replacement 2 million gallon water reservoir on Tubbs Hill."

Your tax dollars at work!

There are a number of important developments that warrant urgent scrutiny. Also, critical masses and the state of cult organizational development are at such levels that we are at a critical juncture. Finally, there is impact of Canadian legal rulings suggest that the next few years will of utmost importance.

Wait, did we just sort of agree?

[norcalmom101]

Yes, we agree!

Let's pressure government representatives on this, it seems to just keep going away?

And while it is not legal to discriminate in the awarding of government contracts based on religion, it would seem that other issues such as association with felons, possible child labor law violations, illegal immigration, welfare fraud, should all come in to play to stop any further contracts being awarded to FLDS companies.

Do the people of Idaho want their tax dollars supporting this cult? NO!
