Just like any criminal activity, money is doing the talking…Constitution be damned!

How dare the court rule that the statute means what it says.

Wyoming charges for registration ($120 initially, $25 per update, plus 25% for the county) – that has more to do with their desire to keep this man registered than anything else.

In reply to Pariah.001. That's just it, they are always trying to eliminate loop holes unless they are in their own best interest.

In reply to Pariah.001. Of course SCOTUS is swayed by the public. This is the same constitution that once said slavery is legal and women couldn't vote. Then once public opinion changed, they suddenly and magically interpreted the constitution differently.

Let’s face it…government is out of control and the Constitution no longer means s–t! I hate to think of what it may take to correct these numerous injustices that are taking place around this land of the free.

This is a Crazy situation, and I experienced the same rejection, My wife wrote a letter to the state for civil rights restoration, and was told I had to waiter another 10 years to apply because the Rules just changed, even though originally I qualified to apply, THEN another rejection when I tried submitting my letter from the State of my conviction, stating that I no longer have to register, because my conviction was 10 years registration, and in 2007 it was complete. That State mailed me a formal letter stating this along with presenting it to the State I currently resided in, which is Florida… Florida said the letter means NOTHTING….and that My Conviction from that state is “Similar” to a charge in this State…And Here I am…. I’m sure this can be fought, BUT who cares about me RIGHT!!!

And yet the courts consistently rule that various registration schemes are simply civil and administrative in nature…not punishment. Seems they can’t have it both ways but they do.

At least in FL we have the benefit of Ron Kleiner who successfully argued here, “you can’t move the goal posts!”
