In one of the Call to Actions, I actually spoke with Sen B assistant. I read my point paper as I would have into her email. I then added the ongoing attack Sen B puts against persons on the registry instills her personal agenda and does not represent many others whom she represents. It is her responsibility to put her agenda aside when it conflicts. The assistant just said thank you for the call. Hung up.

Tying it into a conviction is even worse. That means it’ll apply to people who aren’t required to register, such as

People who completed their sentences before 10/1/1997,
people who get relieved of the duty to register after 25 years
Possibly even people who are exempted from registration under the 2007 Romeo and Juliet law

We did something an we paid our debt. Ammmm still paying….. Still paying
Two wrongs dont make a right. Shame on our Government if this is an actual model they were influenced by.
It didn’t work for Antisemitism and its not working now. Stand by….

Aside from not being surprised at this thing passing unanimously, I do not think this would hold up in a court setting opposing the soon to be law as it amounts to a punishment without a crime nor is it part of any sentencing guidelines.
If the wording were changed to where the Court has to state a reason WHY the decision was made to bar the time sharing rights to a particular individual… That would more than likely hold constitutional/legal ground to be a valid law.

(I’m not a lawyer fyi!)

ABCD
Yes there are many questions that are yet to be determined. Even though it’s probably not retroactive, after a divorce a spouse can take a ex back to court any time your income changes or for any reason whatsoever because it’s not a criminal court. So where as before the registry was not an issue now it can become one. They just opened Pandora’s Box.

LAWS

Just keep in mind though, Jews did not commit a crime. They were hated just because they were Jews. Not saying we are being treated right, because we are not, but we did do something to get arrested, unless you are innocent.

Now is it fair that we were retroactively put on a registry? Absolutely not. But so far the court group known as the Supremes is singing a different tune than we are.

I am keeping her and her family in my prayers that God would soften her heart to her anger she feels towards us. 99.99% of which she doesn’t even know. I realize she and her family had some sort of incident and I won’t down play that, but making it her mission to attack us and our families is not going to bring her closure, unless what she seeks is revenge.
And we all know revenge really does not make you better. It makes you bitter. Even the prosecutor in my case who treated me so badly when I was sentenced, was shocked at my resentencing where I won against her. I went over and shook her hand. She looked at me like I had two heads. I didn’t say it but by shaking her hand, I was saying, “I didn’t win against you, but Christ who is in me won for me.”

The Jews analogy will ALWAYS backfire with legislators and others we wish to educate.

There’s a difference between targeting people based on their birth and targeting them based on their criminal background.

That difference is intuitively obvious to all those outside of our bubble.

Nazis’ 1938 legislation, hardly unique to Nazis, would barely even be remembered today, had they not taken the next step that made them unique: death camps for entire families. But good luck persuading lawmakers or their constituents that that is the direction in which we’re headed, or preserving your credibility while attempting to make that case.

If we cite Nazis in an e-mail to a lawmaker, I promise you they’ll stop reading.

Comments Anyone?

So another onerous bill will become law.
