SCOTUS will not be rehearing Gundy
The Supreme Court refused to rehear Gundy, a case that would have revived the non-delegation doctrine and prevented the decision as to whether SORNA could be applied retroactively to the Attorney General.
After Gundy lost last year, a petition for rehearing was filed. Today the Court refused the rehearing and also refused to take up the same issue in two other cases that were presented to the court with the same issue.
We know that rehearing is granted in VERY, VERY few cases, so this is not a surprise.

Well, we did not get a win on this one, but could something good come out of what is currently happening in Florida? Home Rule has been a battle for people on the registries and their families. I am particularly interested in the statement: “If allowed to stand…but also render the Legislature impotent to deter power grabs by local officials in other areas.” Other areas such as the county/municipal insane ordinances?

i sometimes wonder why anyone tries but i suppose most must have some hope. in my middle 50’s and i been dealing with this BS since 1999 the only thing, i saw a change in a substantial way is more laws and more lies pushing us further as an outcast or the red-headed stepchild. sure there might be very tiny tidbits of wins on our side after years of fighting and tons of $$$ being spent, thousands of people thrown in jail/prison losing their family, employment, home, belongings, etc… but for every smidgen, our side wins the asshole lawmakers make 20 more assinine laws setting us back even further. i’m just glad my health is poor and my time on this earth is almost up!!!

I hope you have peace in your remaining time. Unfortunately I think it’s there only way any of us will find peace
23 years no issues No picture anywhere no name on a list for the public no cops ever stopping by… until i come to florida. Now some life sentence for me and my family. Not to sound cliche but its coming on time where i know they are better off without me. I guess the house always wins…
JM,
What did you do when you moved to FL that they discovered your past and forced you to register?
Details, please.
Real estate purchaseS: was in and out of the state continuously. Sheriff got me on some failure to register but the state dropped the charges: they filed a no information so in other words they didnt even file charges. I was leaving the state the following day anyway and had all my flight receipts to show i was just back and forth as well as all the transactions. The corrections captain registered me on the florida list the night the took me. I am not required to be on the website in nyc (where im from)
I wasn’t moving to florida Just making real estate dealings
Thank you for that clarification. This is something we have to fight; if you’ve done your required time in your home state and earn your full freedom, then you should have your FULL FREEDOM.
When a person finishes probation, they breathe a sigh of relief that the nightmare of telling someone you’re every move is over and you’re free to finally live you’re life and travel and do what anyone else can do. The registry is something that is part of a sentence by a judge. For example, the judge in my case asked the prosecutor if this will require sex offender registry. The prosecutor said “yes”, so the judge ordered it in the sentence. To be put BACK on the registry (without a new crime) is the same as being resentenced. This has to be stopped!
The state you move to or even visit MUST HONOR the state that the crime took place in and that you have completed your required punishment.
If you cannot be placed back onto probation just for moving to another state, then you shouldn’t be forced to be put back on the registry in another state. Period. It’s DOUBLE JEOPARDY. No two ways about it.
I found an attorney’s site who apparently specializes in sex offense registry and they give a list of things that can be used to remove you from the registry. Fulfilling your registry obligation in another jurisdiction is one of those reasons.
No Hope,
If you have lost hope then I will hope for both of us.
To get the system to finally see the light of reason and change for the better may not be in our individual control, but how we face it and how we endure it is in our control.
So look at the Registry square in the eye, lift your middle finger at it, smile, and say,”No, you break first!”
Sorry no hope but you have let them win. We are all discouraged and that is what the Dark side wants to happen. The lady who started F.A.C did not sit at home when her son was arrested and say “Oh me, oh my” She took action and formed this group to do something about it.
All the money in the World cannot make the supreme court agree with us but together we are strong and have a voice. Even in major wars, small wins are what led up to ultimate victory.
If we all lay down and give up, then the Government wins. Throughout history people have faced adverse conditions and even death to fight for a cause. Women’s rights, African American’s rights, and many other people who were oppressed. None of those groups did anything wrong so in a way I guess we cannot be compared to them. On the other hand, we DID something right by completing our sanctions, staying out of trouble then getting handed a life sentence of registries that for most of us, came long after our sentences.
Stay strong, if not for yourself, then for your loved ones. And remember, you are not in this alone, we are all here for each other my friend.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
So then… what now? Sit back and just accept it?
Did SCOTUS also deny Cert to the related cases that are pending?
Yes
We also know that justice is the last thing the agenda based Supreme Court is about.
What a joke and how stupid we are for the false hope that anything is going to change when these people are not concerned with facts at all.
FU¢K SCOTUS! It’s time for term limits on those dinosaurs! They are the reason that things (for the better) change so slowly in Amerikkka! Laws should have to pass constitutional muster BEFORE they are enacted. Instead, we have to spend millions of dollars in litigation to mitigate them. No chance of overturning anything. That’s all part of the plan.
You are totally correct and get to see others on the same page. Those dinosaurs are already mentally extinct and just corpses playing dress up in robes waiting to die. They offer NOTHING.
We need a revolution in this country to actually take it back by the people who own it.
We do NOT rent space in the USA – as citizens we OWN it!
