WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether the federal sexual offender registration law can be challenged when applied retroactively.
The 2006 Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, part of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, requires every sex offender to register in any state with a registration requirement. All 50 states have such requirements, and the law requires all sex offenders to keep their registrations current, SCOTUSBLOG.com reported.
In 2007, the U.S. attorney general issued a rule that the requirement applied to all sex offenders, even those who committed their offenses before the law was enacted in 2006.
In a Pennsylvania case, Billy Joe Reynolds pleaded guilty to failing to register and was sentenced to 18 months. A federal appeals court in Philadelphia ruled that Reynolds did not have "standing" to challenge the attorney general's regulation because the language of the law applies to all sex offenders.
The nation's appeals courts are split on the issue, a prime consideration when the Supreme Court agrees to review a case. In agreeing to hear the case, probably next term, the justices refused to consider whether the retroactive provision is constitutional, only whether Reynolds and others have "standing" to challenge the regulation.
I say, SORNA and the Proposed Regulations Are Ex Post Facto Laws Prohibited by Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution of the United States of America.
The proposed regulations apply SORNA retroactively in violation of Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution prohibiting the passage of ex post facto laws. NACDL has previously raised this concern in comments dated April 30, 2007, in OAG Docket No. 117.
These Tyrrants who are called Supreme Court Justices evade the issue. The issue is outlined above.
They sit there ruling the underclass, YOU the tax payers...
When is America, the Sheeple going to rise up and end this Tyrannical Rule on the people.
These Injustices are Bought and Paid For.

12,800 attorneys examined the guidelines set forth in the Adam Walsh Act and SORNA and all have rejected the Federal Acts as having a great many flaws. They found the imposition of these regulations upon not only the states but also the citizens to be ineffective at protecting society as well as unconstitutional and harmful to men, women, children and families as a whole.
If you will take the time to read the full article, and realize this article has the backing of THOUSANDS of professional who work in the criminal justice system you will see, these professionals know full well SORNA and the Adam Walsh Act were put together by people who had no clue the impact or legality of what they had created.
If you are a politician or lawmaker and want to be a leader, someone who actually cares about America and her people, I would suggest you promote the work being done here at Citizens for Change, America. A full blown investigation into just how and why the Adam Walsh Act ever was made into law. Ask yourself after you look into this matter, To what level of corruption was this law implemented? Who stands to profit from the Adam Walsh Acta and SORNA. Who is already profiting? If you follow the money.. I am quite sure you will come up with some very interesting things.
Media creators for years have been creating, mass marketing and promoting movies which depict graphics sceens of Rape Murder and Dismemberment.
Americans were led into their hunger for these mind polluting perversions gradually as society gleefully accepted anything which Hollywood produced.
What would have been rejected and created an outcry for decency just a few decades ago, is now widely accepted and proclaimed to be Entertaining.
Just a few of the top sellers at the Box Office listed below...
Natural Born Killers, SAW, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, HIGH TENSION, HOSTEL, TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, and the list could go on for ever...
The word insane comes to mind when thinking of the situation in Florida with little Somer Renee Thompson, the other similar cases around the nation and the thousands of very similar cases which will come.
Anyone who has lived in these United States for the last 40 years has seen CHANGE sweep over this nation in such a huge way that our country is not even recognizable from what it once was.
There is a saying which goes something like this, "With freedom comes much resonsibility". Americans have fallend down on the JOB in the responsibility area of maintaining sanity in our country.
To reflect upon our current situation. Our government is full of corrupt people. Our Judicial system is full of corrupt people. Our city officials in countless cities across the nation are being caught in corruption. There is sexual scandal in the churches, in the political offices, the courts, the police offices, in social services offices and in day care centers.
Our media pushes every kind of sexual immorality into the minds of not only our adults but also our children. One could even see advertisements on television using a sexually provocative man or woman to sell broccoli.
Sex and violence sells and that is what the media supplies. Supply and demand has always been the way of business in these united states. Due to the steady supply of sexually explicit material being broadcast and distributed on a daily basis for decades, we now are reaping what we have sown.
That media containing sex and violence coupled with sex offender laws which even Congressmen have admitted, "Once you are on the registry, your life is basically over", creates a scenario where people will kill their victims just to ensure they do not have a witness which can get them sentenced to a lifetime of registration on the sex offender registry.
Upon hearing the news of the little girl in Florida, killed and thrown into a trash bin. I can only think of one thing. Why on earth would anyone let a 7 year old girl walk 1 mile to or from school?
As a parent of two teenagers and a 2 year old, I would never allow my children to walk a mile to or from school. Not in these times we live in.
Just 30 years ago, you could go out into any neighborhood and see children everywhere, riding bikes, skateboarding, playin and having fun. Typically, and without fear, children would leave the home in the morning, say bye to mother and tell her they were riding their bikes to town....
Not today. You can walk or drive around any neighborhood today and you will not see very many children running around riding bicycles, skating or playing. They are all inside, watching television, playing xbox 360s, playstations or Wiis.
Their have been studies conducted on the effects of watching sex and violence on television day after day and the results are shocking and alarming to say the least. But you do not have to look to studies to see the resluts. The largest industry in America is now the combined legislature, courts, police, sheriff and prison systems and all that those businesses support. Tied to these are countless businesses. Psychiatrists, psychologists who the court orders felons to pay to go see. Grocers and suppliers, contractors, lawyers and the list is too great for this article.
It would seem that every thing it takes to completely and utterly destroy this nation from the roots, the family, up is being done on purpose.
Heaven forbid I should mention Jesus Christ and the fact that it is almost a swear word now to say, "God" in any government office or public school... that one sentence will probably ban this article from even being published.
No, the problem facing little girls like Somer is not all those sex offenders living in her vacinity. The problem is that this nation has sat by and watched and even participated in the destruction of any semblence of morality, decency, and restraint involving sex and violence for decades.
Saying we need to get TOUGH ON SEX OFFENDERS to cure the sickness which America suffers from is like telling a cancer patient to take this asprin and a glass of water each day and all will be well.
To get to the heart of the matter, this nation needs to wake up and realize our minds have been infected with immorality.
Insane is it to think you can pump sex and violence into the minds of children and adults alike for decades. Twenty for hours a day, 7 days a week, day after day, year after year and then expect them to NOT act out on it.
You break down the family unit from a father, mother and children to 1 parent always working, the child home watching tv or being entertained by the pervert next door and what do you get.. just what we have now. Murder, Rape and sex crimes on the rise.
But you know what. That will not happen. Everyone is so use to getting their daily fix of sex and violence from the media. Why do you think anyone is even reading about little Somer? It involves sex and violence. There you have it.
I feel great compassion for the family, friends and neighbors of this little girl.. but I tell you as sure as I am sitting here writing this... this country has not even come close to seeing what is to come. This practice will become more wide spread as our media takes us further into sexual depravity.
