I came across this article https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/12/florida-lawmakers-insults-of-transgender-people-could-fuel-lawsuits/70104275007/
“ Should the bill become law, those remarks give fuel to potential legal challenges against it, two legal experts told the USA TODAY Network – Florida. His stated bias against transgender people could become evidence of a concept known as unconstitutional animus, or the idea “that it’s fundamentally in conflict with our democratic norms to use the law to disadvantage a discrete group of people,” said lawyer Susannah Pollvogt, who authored a paper about the concept.”
Has anyone heard of http://fordhamlawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/assets/pdfs/Vol_81/Pollvogt_November.pdf being used in our defense. You have politicians openly joking about how they want to punish us.
MI Court of Appeals: Lifetime Registration Not Cruel & Unusual
https://www.thealpenanews.com/news/local-news/2023/04/alpena-man-failed-to-prove-cruel-and-unusual-punishment-claim-court-rules/
“the grave nature of sex offenses … justifies lifetime monitoring.”
Once again the “frightening and high” myth is holding sanity and reason hostage.
They are equating the crime’s severity to lifetime registry being acceptable. That is the first time I have heard or recall that being used by a court in justifying the registry. That is Old Testament at its finest. Crazy. Where does murder come into play? Should a murderer not be a lifetime prisoner? There is a counterargument for those who are punished long term on the registry in the tiering schedule using the court’s argument to downgrade their punishment but I’ll save that for another day.
