WorkingForChange-Duck and cover time

This Molly Ivins' article (WorkingForChange-Duck and cover time) demonstrates just what's wrong with Texas, and this country. A friend of mine and his homosexual partner just adopted a child. If they travel through Texas will the state feel compelled or justified in taking their child away and putting him in an orphanage? That's kidnapping and breaking the right of other states to do what they wish.
But the administration is not concerned with being consistent of the Republican party's stated belief in state's rights first. They are all too happy to let federal agencies interfere with the states.
