Millard v Rankin was decided today, noticed the decision on PACER. Not good. Not sure how to post the link.
Waiting on a decision, in this case, is ridiculous!!! these judges should have a fair and reasonable amount of time to render their decision 2 + years is way too long!!! not to mention 4+ years in MI after the laws were ruled unconstitutional and people are still made to follow them or be jailed!!! something is definitely wrong here. i now think as i type there are too many people make money from these unconstitutional schemes so they need to drag these out as looooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg as possible
Does anyone know when a decision should be made on this case?
likely months from now
Or years.
Will a favorable decision on Millard v. Rankin case have potential implications on a similar type of challenge to Florida statutes which require SO registration? If so, what is the road map for this overall effort?
A favorable decision will provide persuasive authority that might used in our challenges. It might also lay the groundwork for an eventual circuit split and SCOTUS granting cert. Even an unfavorable decision might reveal, for our challenges, pitfalls to avoid, arguments to be refined, etc.
Its not just the US either:

” But the decision is a step in the right direction for Samoa’s fight against repeated sex offenders ”
And I wonder how low or high those percentages are of repeat sexual offenders in Samoa. . . Or Just another country drinking that Kool-aid concocted by the U.S.
Thrown under the bus and run over. Society giddy they have something legally to discrim ate against. Where lawyers are whipping out on their chance to save the United States Constitution.
