On the other hand, if you’re a non-violent “sex offender” (simple possession of CP) even with a master’s degree, no one will hire you. Unless you can get someone else to pay for your higher education, or you’re being paid to attend, don’t waste your time.

The author, Earl Yarington, is writing a book about civil commitment and the effects of the registry on family members. He has asked that we share some of our stories with him. I will soon have some information for you as to where to send your family members’ stories.

This is not a decision that should be made over the meaning of “civil” and “punitive” because if a hospital is not really a hospital because it doesn’t and cannot treat, then what makes a lifetime commitment beyond one’s sentence “civil” and not punishment? Would any Supreme Court Justice, lower court, or prosecutor like to sit in civil commitment?

In sum, how can the Supreme Court be serious? To someone being strapped in a Pakistani Chair, it makes little difference if one calls it torture or enhanced interrogation. It hurts just the same. It’s a human rights violation. At present, the Court passed on protecting one of the most vulnerable and voiceless groups. This is not about disgust or emotion, it’s about judicial ethics and discipline.
