Rep. Sensenbrenner, Champion of Sex Offender Registry, to Retire
Wisconsin Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner, one of the most influential members of Congress on criminal justice issues, will not seek re-election next year after four decades on Capitol Hill.
In recent years, Sensenbrenner was best known in criminal justice circles for advocating the 2006 Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, which includes the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) which established minimum baselines for states to track sex offenders.

Rush- Tom sawyer – ” What you say about his company , is what you say about society” Think about that for a moment. When the term “Sex offender” is used Our entire society is nothing more that : an endless cesspool of laws directed at man by man!
For those who did not understand what I said. I put it very simpler for you Society is looking into the mirror when they used the term “Sex offender” everyone should see themselves as that “Sex offender” weather they are convicted or not We are a Nation that took something Pure and made it into a dirty thing
We’ve become a nation addicted to hate and outrage that seeks out easy high-fives and clap-backs on social media to boost fragile egos and insecurity. When will it all end.. will it ever end? Probably not until all humans are extinct future tense along with Sensenbrenners’ legacy of misguided and misdirected vitriolic hate..
Good riddance, you dirty rat ba$tard! I hope your retirement is short.
“Champ”? More like chump. This person is a traitor to the US Constitution (Don’t forget his role in that other mess of a law called the USA Patriot Act).
This clown was in congress since I was in preschool. This is why we need term limits.
Good riddance!
Depending on who replaces him we may see a glimmer of hope in reducing or eliminating many of the almost Draconian laws throughout the county. If he’s replaced with another died in the wool dark red Republican we’re most likely not going to see any changes!! I’m NOT making this political. The conservative nature of those types ideologies tend to be based on an older style, less tolerant, lock them in prison and throw away the key social mentality.
Politically I am a Libertarian. Theologically I am a conservative. I am a registered Republican, but that is so I can vote in the primaries. My experience is that you are correct. Democrats usually are more compassionate towards rehabilitation, and they believe that someone can change and shouldn’t be condemned for the remainder of their life for a single mistake. It’s not politics, it just seems to be generally true. It’s not always the case, but generally true.
Ditto here.
Looking at my Ron Paul 2012 magnet 🙂 Conservative at one time meant being limited government which is why they should be the party opposed to this, but sadly all (left and right) elected are for big government, thus making it that much more difficult on all fronts in educating on this matter it seems.
Roger, we are friends and we do not always see ‘eye to eye’ but your evaluation of some Republicans is correct. I call them ‘do-gooder’ Republicans who spend their lives passing the heat on to everyone else to keep it off of themselves. I am a Republican but I am what can be called a ‘Constitutional’ Republican. I believe in holding people responsible for their acts; I believe we have all had failures and should receive forgiveness when we have accepted responsibility for failure and taken corrective action; I believe we should not expect anything to be given to us out of obligation expected of others…nothing is free; I believe it is the responsibility of the true Christian church…fewer and fewer churches are falling into this category…to be the conscience of our government; and I believe we have an obligation and responsibility to speak up when we see any injustice being carried out by ‘died in the wool politicians’. Silence is surrender or approval to a politician. I believe in most Republican principles but when I see the ‘line’ being crossed I let them know without a doubt that I am in opposition. While I cannot yet vote, I can cast a ballet with my wallet. Hang in there, Roger.
No Politics
Politics is how we relate to each other. Politics are what establish registries. Politics are what evolve the draconian ordinances RSO’s are required to endure. To say ‘no politics’ is to put a lock on our thoughts and mouths. I had a Methodist pastor tell me nearly four years ago that politics did not belong in the church. Right after I submitted my resignation after 23 years from the Methodist church, I went home and started writing a weekly blog about how fear of politics and the church has allowed our nation to evolve into the miserable swamp it has become. You might think that after four years I would run out of material. Quite to the contrary, I have gathered many more years of material to include in my writing. At last check my blog is being read in six different countries. People are tired of what politics has become in good ole US of A. If we don’t include politics in the discussions we are wasting our time.
I stand with the Captain. Politics are why we are in this mess!
It will be good to see some of these clueless legislators retire…as they should have years ago.
