- drachemorder, on 06/04/2008, -1/+23Impeachment is definitely warranted. Removing even one child from parental custody is a very serious matter that should require convincing evidence that there is immediate danger before a warrant can be issued. Anything other than that runs afoul of the fourth amendment.
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -1/+19One way or the other, this communist judge must go.
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -1/+15I am very happy to hear about these efforts to impeach this enemy of America. There are so many more judges who should be impeached as well. I hope Texas finally sets an example for We The People and that enough of the rest of us follow in their footsteps of making serious efforts to reclaim our country instead of just talking about it!
- lodibug3, on 06/04/2008, -1/+15Our problem is the JUDGES! We can't legislate morality, but we can Deal With The Judges! I was thrilled to read the following in that post.
Whereas Texas 51st District Judge Barbara Walther has violated the constitutional rights of more than 400 children and their parents of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints Church (FLDS); and whereas Judge Barbara Walther took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Texas and has violated that oath; and whereas both an appellate court and the Texas Supreme Court have sided with the FLDS children and their parents against Judge Barbara Walther;
and whereas the actions of Judge Barbara Walther have resulted in a great financial cost to the State of Texas and its taxpayers; and whereas Judge Barbara Walther's actions constitute one of the greatest violations of constitutional rights in the history of the State of Texas; and whereas Judge Barbara Walther should have known ahead of time that what she was doing was unconstitutional, since the Island Pond Raid in the State of Vermont in 1984 was almost identical, and there are other similar cases on record where judges refused to support unconstitutional raids by Child Protective Services; and whereas Judge Barbara Walther has impeded the reunification of parents with their children, even after the Texas Supreme Court ruled that they should be reunified; we ask that proceedings begin immediately for the impeachment of District Judge Barbara Walther of the State of Texas.
This IS where we MUST BEGIN! - AThoughtOrTwo, on 06/04/2008, -1/+14Freedom OF religion means you can practice whatever tomfoolery you want and CPS should STAY THE HE!! AWAY. At most, only a VERY FEW of these children were in any "imminent danger" - they only wanted to terrorize them and get some "confessions" going. Why else take small children, split families and even take NEWBORN BABIES?
I've read where one couple (in a monogamous relationship) have four children at the four points of the compass in Texas? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? - nippinawassee, on 06/04/2008, -2/+13When they get through with the judge, all states need to investigate the actions of all child protective services (CPS). This is a state organization and like most state organizations it has to prove it is necessary to get increased budgets, etc. Now how would a CPS prove they are a necessary/vital organization to the state? By how many cases they have in their files. Never mind that not all accusations against families regarding their children are proven 'child abuse' - all are labeled as such. The system involves having 'foster' homes and are paid an amount per child per month for the abused child's care... This amount would vary according to the state's allotment. Taking in foster children who truly have been abused is a big job - children vent frustrations and fear on others - many children have been molested but they are put in with all ages, and all problem children. Putting children under one year of age into a home where there are male teenagers is not very intelligent BUT because of the problems associated with fostering children, too many of the foster parents are not exactly in it for the welfare of the children - the $$$ is the leading reason. Children aren't receiving the type of care, intelligent care, that they need in these foster homes. Children have died in the care of a foster parent who had TOLD the CPS that she was on medication for bipolar problems - she decided to go off the meds for whatever reason and a 16 month old child was beaten to death as a result. Too many of these CPS agencies are poorly staffed - agents 'in the field' are poorly trained if at all. I was witness to one such incident where the agent showed up at the home after working hours - would show up at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm - and reeked of alcohol. It's a system that needs a closer inspection - after all, how would a CPS field agent strive for a better merit review? By how many cases he/she brought in to CPS, right? How else would a state agency such as CPS prove that they were an important part of the state organizations? Abuse is in the eye of the beholder. A child getting a swat on the behind for misbehaving in a grocery store should not result in having the police waiting for her when she leaves the store - ALL with the very unprofessional help of someone who happened to think that swatting a child on the behind was cruelty... So a parent is arrested, the child is taken to CPS to be put in a foster home that could be as filthy as some in this area, and the parent ends up having to defend themselves against the accusation of an individual who has appointed herself/himself as the guardian of all children. This parent is then stigmatized the rest of his/her life because once an investigation is done, their name is forever on the state list of 'possibly abusers' - this list is available to all agencies who do background searches, which means a lot in this day. Wasn't charged officially? Doesn't matter... So something needs to be done about all half-baked judges BUT something needs to be done about the source of the Texas problem and that is the over-reaction of the CPS employees - it's almost like a party for them - imagine! We get all these cases, all this publicity as to how we are guarding the welfare of children and ALL on an anonymous phone call with NO PROOF - NO NOTHING. THAT is the problem with CPS agencies - they never investigate anything before they go roaring out the gate... after all, this will look good at our merit review... And then they had to take pictures of the parents and children - had to have official orders that they could not leave the state - could not do this or that without getting permission - they want to continue to keep tags on these people who have done nothing illegal, nor have the children been injured in any way other than not being raised in the filthy world we have allowed to be created. Wonder how the Texas CPS agency officials feel about that now? The CPS agencies throughout the country need to be closer supervised as to their tactics, their attitudes and their vindictiveness when they start one of these uproars and then cannot succeed because after all the bulls--t, there is NO CASE... that's when they tag on all these orders that the parents MUST obey... The only good CPS agent is one that is buried...
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -2/+11This is a very important action. There is ample evidence and reason for impeachment. It we let a judge get away with this, it only emboldens the other black-robed demi-gods. This opportunity must not be allowed to slip away! Impeachment is a must!
- Ruler4you, on 06/04/2008, -2/+9Some body get a rope
- SQLDigger, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4Yes, let's assume the worst about a group of people that we only know about from speculation and hearsay, and let's all assume that they hate their kids because they're an evil boogeyman we read about from second-hand & third-hand sources . . . After all, "they're not like us," so they must be evil.
- elvenrunelord, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4I said this was unconstitutional the first day it happened. And quite frankly i'm surprised this did not end up being another waco. Our justice system is not even following its own laws so I guess its up to the people at large to take care of that problem. And therein causing another problem. This is such an emotional issue that mob mentality has already reared its ugly head. Notice how many people are already calling for this judge to be hanged. Hanged for god's sake!!!!!!!!
What this judge did can only be considered a while collar crime in this country. Yes this judge made a huge error in judgement, however does that lack of judgement warrent death? I think not. Impeachment and disbarment from the legal profession from life is punishment enough in todays economically uncertain times. It will certainly take this ex-judge several years to retrain for a new profession and during that time they may mingle with intellectually active people of a different generation that will open their minds to things they never even imagnined before. Death would stop this from ever happening.
I certain support never allowing this person to be the judge of any case ever again but i cannot support the wholesale slaughter of someone who without further evidence cannot be proven acted in a malicious way. Who acted on their beliefs and who in the end caused no harm in the grand scheme of things.
We allow people who drink and drive who kill someone out of jail after as little as 2 years and you want to kill a judge for making an error in judgement that caused no lose of life.
You people who want to hang this judge need to sit back an really look at what your asking for. You are disgraces to the modern civilized human being. There are so many things that can be used rather than killing those who offended you.
With all of this said, CPS has been given to much power considering they have no actual place in the justice system of our country. Many children who have been taken from their parents for no reason should be treated as any other amber alert would be. A child has been kidnapped by an adult and someone in the police department needs to deal with this issue immediatly. CPS should not be allowed to remove children. They have not been trained as police and as far as I am concerned have no authority over us in any way shape and form. Do whatever you think is necessary to protect your children from these people. There have been way to many investigations into the corruption of these agencies to just passively react to their intrusion in your life.
Just doing a google search on cps workers charged with sexual abuse of a child will at this time give 218,000 results. many of those are not actually on topic but enough of them to show a problem exists. The best thing if this happens to you is to get a lawyer before the child is out of the house. In fact i would get a lawyer before I would even speak of CPS personally. - inactive, on 06/04/2008, -0/+4Impeachment of this piece of trash is a start. The list of judges in need of impeachment is miles long. Until the judicial branch is held accountable for their actions, this country will continue in it's current downward spiral. Hopefully someone will file criminal charges and get her in front of a Grand Jury.
The Grand Jury is the only thing that can save us from these out of control judges, DA's, prosecutors, etc. - CC777, on 06/04/2008, -1/+5What did you expect. They figure if we allow this type of action we'll eventually allow them to do anything. The government continually oversteps it's authority in all sorts of ways. Unless we, the people call them on it it will continue.
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -4/+7This judge needs to be impeached and then hung!! The damage done by this commie will haunt these families forever. Traitors and tyrants need to pay the ultimate price for these types of inexcusable crimes. This is the only way we will ever get their attention.
- AThoughtOrTwo, on 06/04/2008, -1/+4You've also had some personal experience on one side/other.
I firmly believe that CPS in any state, does more harm than good any more. Mostly because of the reasons you gave and NO OVERSIGHT. They answer to no one except some judge who is also on the payroll of 'social change.'
Is it just to destroy families and children?
I wish SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE would figure out how many children CPS has KILLED over the years. Not just harmed, but KILLED. - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3A VERY necessary precedent setting impeachment of a Fascist legislative black robe.
Here is Benito Mussolinis (Wiki)def of Fascism:
Anti-individualistic, the fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal will of man as a historic entity.... The fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.... Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number.... We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right', a Fascist century. If the nineteenth century was the century of the individual we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century, and therefore the century of the State - gunjam, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3As others have already noted above, it is absolutely essential that this woman be impeached: She has arrogated powers to herself that are in no way invested in her by the Constitution. She is undoubtedly motivated by some deep-seated hatred of the FLDS religious beliefs. Not only must this wicked female judge be impeached, but the very evil CPS agent, Ms Marleigh Meissner, must also be removed and prosecuted. Ms Meissner was intimately involved with both of Texas's (and the US's) two greatest CPS travesties in history -- Waco and El Dorado.
- gunjam, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2How would you know, you bigot? I wouldn't be surprised if -- after posting this -- you turn around and watch movies like Sex in the City that glorify indiscriminate sex. That is the hypocrisy of this entire episode: Vanity Fair can post suggestive and semi-nude photos of a lipsticked, 15-year-old Miley Cyrus to great media fanfare and approval, while FLDS girls the same age wearing ZERO make-up and FULL-LENGTH dresses are ripped from their families. The difference: Religion. In other words, wreckless, secular sex is fine -- even at 15 -- whereas, Christians getting MARRIED in their teens is now a crime. Remember: In Texas, a 16-year-old may legally marry with parental permission.
- kemp34, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Not to mention any sane moral code.
- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2I sure have! As a teacher I find that abuse of trust to be beyond revolting. Of course, it's much harder to find cases of lesbian teachers seducing their female students than it is to find cases of heterosexual teachers seducing young boys. In fact, WND had an article just recently on that subject...very fair and balanced...what was it called again, hmmm...oh yeah!
"Sex-crazed teachers in heat after your kids!"
Now, as for who 'owns' the FLDS kids. It's hard to say, DNA tests ought to help with that. Do you think 13 year-olds are ready to be mothers yet? - inactive, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1I frankly think sexually abusing a child, which means ANY form of sexual activity between an adult and a child should carry a mandatory death sentence. This pathetic excuse for a judge is an accomplice to such crimes for ordering the children returned to their mother's while there remains ANY question that ANY child in the group has been molested. To sum it up briefly, the man should swing from the gallows!!!
- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+1"We can always count on you to take the side of queers and the godless!!"
You need a Devil's Advocate. You really do. It's a shame the Vatican did away with the official office, I'd have gone to seminary just for a shot at it. Oh well.
I don't come here to tear down Christians. I come here to expose frauds. I don't quote from liberal magazines or leftists professors, I'm much more comfortable using the Bible. I send people scrambling to look up passages they've never even read, and watch their fumbling wonderment at how their favorite clubbing tool has turned against them.
It is a pleasure.
Oh, and for the record, I think the kids really are better off with their parents. It's just that some of their parents are 13 years old. I don't know how that will work. - inactive, on 06/04/2008, -4/+4Commie?
The FLDS is spawning dozens of illegitimate children for the purpose of 'bleeding the beast' (your government). They admit this! It's their term. You don't think of them as traitors, too, given their objective?
And I can't think of anything more tyranical than a 52 year old man telling a 12 year-old girl that she's got to have his baby or God won't let her into Heaven. Beyond disgusting. - inactive, on 06/04/2008, -3/+3We can always count on you to take the side of queers and the godless!!
I don't agree with the FLDS doctrine. Never have and never will!!!! I will never agree though with the wholesale theft of children from their parents. The tactics used by the judge & CPS were straight out of the commie handbook. - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+0Relax bro....."death"venting and the "nooses" are figures of speech indicating the seriousness of this breach of responsibility.
- gunjam, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1Have you ever posted your disgust for the numerous lesbian teachers who have seduced their middle- and high-school students, as reported (numerous times) in WND? Or, are you only bothered by people with religious beliefs? Also, who owns the FLDS kids -- the parents or Judge Walther?
- midlandman, on 06/04/2008, -5/+0Do anyof you really know what was going on in that compound?
Id wasn't real parental care for their children.
