In reply to Iservedmytym. At least two major countries in the EU, Germany and Spain IIRC, have categorically declared lifetime SOR to be a human rights violation. The UK had a similar case decided based on EU treaties, etc, but that will likely go away with BREXIT. Of course, the UK still excludes folks like us probably based on the "catch all" provisions of their immigration law. Perhaps even the same ones that they used to exclude that crazy Dutch politician Geert Wilders (who was a sitting member of the Dutch House of Representatives) and loony tunes US radio personality Michael Savage. Clever. Use your own laws to get around your own laws. ;-)

One word bullet point. Vigilantism ! The fact that a bullet point for registry fail can be surmised to a single word, and that said word echoes more fail on those imposing registry truly speaks volumes.

In reply to Old Karen. Ok so if people are being marginalized without just cause we are to believe that should wait. I think not. The road map was outlined in the synder case. The 6th circuit said the Michigan law was punishment, stigmatized and did not meet the substantive due process standards. Most of the decisions that were made were before this data was available. The supreme court used data in a non peer review journal psychology today to make its decision in the smith case. The data has since been shown to be invalid. A fraud!!! With all these study showing what they are showing maybe it is time to, on the basis that the law does not have a rational basis, as was stated by the 6th curciut, to challenge them again on the grounds that they voilate section 1 of the 14th amendment. Remember Brown v Topeka says that it is unconstitutional to stigmatized people without good cause. So all these study say there is no good cause. Since these regulations are civil they need to be challenged on there inequities.

Maybe we should forward the link to this post to every state and federal legislator and every candidate. Armed with real information and facts we might knock some sense into some way overpaid heads.

In reply to Mark Coren.

Mark Coren – yes but it took a while – also SCOTUS upheld the Jim Crow laws in Plessy VS Ferguson (they said separate but equal was fine – you know like it is not punishment) – it took 50 more years for the decision to be over turned – but it was.

In reply to Florida Action Committee. Remember Jim crow laws were overturned because they stigamzed people with out good cause.
