I don’t follow your logic. The District Court in Alabama granted Bruce Henry’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The 11th Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision. Why would we want the Alabama District Court Judge to not obey the ruling?

Which cases from the 11th Circuit have Alabama District Court judges not obeyed?

Alabama does not like being told what to do by the Federal Courts and still disobey their rulings on a lot of cases from the 11th Circuit and SCOTUS rulings.
Watch what happens a judge won’t change his stripes and obey the ruling.
Many cases get overturned but they get re sentenced illegally because their is no oversight in the local courts. They will find an excuse to enforce their ruling.

In reply to BRAnDed. Fortunately, the dissenters lost.

so hmm : repeatedly criticizes Alabama’s use of an “irrebuttable presumption”. Wonder what this says for the states presumption that USICS can automatically refuse a RSO from sponsoring or having their from another country live with them simply based on being an RSO? I am not really in a hurry to return to stateside because third world country’s have far better freedoms but it would be nice to see family again some day.,

Although the decision is not binding outside of the 11th Circuit, it can be used in other circuits as persuasive precedent. This is good news for everyone.

The good news about the ruling is that the Court made it clear that their decision is intended to protect the rights of ALL parents to live with their children. The bad side is that there were actually dissenters on the Court for an issue that should be unanimous. One of the dissenting opinions even cited an extraordinarily low recidivism rate for people convicted of possession of child pornography. The haters don’t let real facts get in the way of their preconceived ideas.

Sadly, the majority did not strike down Alabama’s law. Instead, it remanded it for further proceedings, and the dissent actually found that the law survived strict scrutiny and would have upheld it as written. Unfortunately, the dissent in Henry still leans on McKune v. Lile, the same discredited source that claimed sex offenders are far more likely than any other offender to reoffend, a statistic, as we know, traced back to a 1986 Psychology Today article, not peer-reviewed research. That battle has to be fought in a case with cleaner facts.

Brick by Brick, Stone by Stone. Thank you FAC for the great news. Is this something that be used against Florida Statutes which ban parents from school sporting events, school plays, Graduation, Etc? I have not read the decision yet, but did Ellingburg come into play at all?
