SCOTUS to hear Sex Offender Case

The Supreme Court of the US has agreed to hear a sex offender case., Gundy v. United States.

The issues in the case are:

(1) Whether convicted sex offenders are “required to register” under the federal Sex Offender Notification and Registration Act while in custody, regardless of how long they have until release; (2) whether all offenders convicted of a qualifying sex offense prior to SORNA’s enactment are “required to register” under SORNA no later than August 1, 2008; (3) whether a defendant travels in interstate commerce for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a) when his only movement between states occurs while he is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and serving a prison sentence; and (4) whether SORNA’s delegation of authority to the attorney general to issue regulations under 42 U.S.C. § 16913 violates the nondelegation doctrine.

NOTE: only (4) is being taken up by the SCOTUS

    BTW FAC – for about 2 weeks I have only been receiving the weekly update. I thought that it had just been really quiet but now I see it was not – I just was not getting notices. Normally I get new post notices and notices when someone replies to a thread. I also get a notice when I sign up under a new post to confirm that I want to subscribe to that notice. I am not getting those any more. Has this happened to anyone else or is it perhaps on my end?
