2:30pm -This if from FAC as Janice speaks with media and others: — We just heard from those in the courtroom that today’s hearing for an injunction temporarily preventing the implementation of the International Megan’s Law (IML) is complete. Janice did a stellar job.
The judge in the case did not make a decision at the end of the hearing. Presumably she will take some time, digest, investigate the law and then issue an order in the very near future. Can take days, can take weeks, unlikely more.
We will keep you apprised as soon as we hear of the outcome.
So what’s next?
Today wasn’t the actual fight. This is just one of the battles along the way. We were seeking preliminary and temporary relief that would be in effect until the full court proceedings can be decided on. The full court proceeding will still come.
— More soon.
Can anyone tell me, is whats being fought “only the passport marker” or is it the whole IML thing.
I’m trying to understand if Janice is trying to stop the notification to other counties or just the marker on the passport… I’m finally in a position to be able and travel and not I have to assume I’ll waste all efforts.
Thanks
The Government side is making some logical jumps. If Registrants have been denied entry for trhe last 1 to 2 years, which is the time that the defacto secretly-started implementation of the denials of entry for registrants to foreign countries, they have been admitted entry before that unrestricted and there was virtually no registrants convicted/arrested for the crimes of international child sex tourism and none arrested for international child sesx trafficking. If the goverenment is not implying that regsitrants have participated in these crimes, when they surely had the chance, then this law is not needed. ,To say this law is needed implies that registrants when given the chance will engage in these 2 crimes. Since registrants have not been shown to engage in these crimes, the Government has made a logical jump that I don’t see any justification for.
Another logical jump I see is the Government saying that plaintiffs 2,3 and 4 do not have any plans to travel so they have no standing. How does the Government know their plans? It appears they do have plans to travel. Logically, it makes sense that one would make plans to travel first, then get the passport next. Not having a passport yet does not mean there are no travel plans. What the government is saying is like saying that when 2 ppl get married, they first usually get the marriage license before a proposal or plan to get married. And lastly, not to mention the hostile conditions in the US due to Kelly contributing funding for attacks on registrants rights in itself is reason to have “plans” to leave.
To say that a program being in place is all thats needed for it to pass muster is so mean-spirited when peoples right are on the line. If the program was not contemptuously started with no warning to the registrant-targets of Chris Smith a year or so ago, it would then have given registrants a chance to know what is going on. Some unannounced secretly-initiated program being claimed to be in place for 5 years, when by all accounts it’s really been in p[lace around 1 year and constantly being expanded with new countries adding denials is not a pogram in place. It’s finally known what is going on to a greater extent and this is now the first attempt to take it to court. I hope the Governement side is not saying that there is no basis for a challenge to these laws because they were in place secretly for a year. When Nazi’s brought Jews to the Concentration camps via trains and did not reveal they were going to death camps, the program had been in place for a while before the victims caught on to this. But surely, the fact that the program was “in place” does not mean it would stand constitutionally if it hypothetically occurred in America. In America, we operate under the US Constititution, which provides for more protection than the 5th Weimar Constitution , which Nazi Germany operated under.

The process of notification is not the totslity of the entire program or experience. The notification process/program is not the entire program. Getting assualted or denied entrance is also part of the program. The government requires the traveler to always have their passport, so the program does not end once the notification is made. The program is the entire experience. What happens in the foreign country as a result of the notification is part of the program and that surely is not “in place”. Some form of injury, damage or even death is likely, It’s finally known what is going on to a greater extent about the process and this is now the first attempt to take it to court.

In America, we operate under the US Constititution, which provides for more protection than the 5th Weimar Constitution , which Nazi Germany operated under. I would venture to say that the US had some similar authoritarian impulses as Nazi Germany, but it was the US Constitution that prevented death camps like that in the US, thus far. I know the US has had some bad policies upheld, and then only many years later, corrected. I am not saying that US has always been perfect. Looking at 4 bad decisions of the US to illustrate this…Korematsu, where the SCOTUS upheld Japanese Internment camps. Only until the past fews years, under the Obama Administration has the Justice Department issued an opinion contrary to Korematsu. Also, Plessy V Ferguson, upholding racial segregation and Dred Scott case forcing an escaped slave to return to the South to be a slave again under the Fugitive Slave Act, after he already escaped the South. Then of course, Smith v Doe which got its little foot in the door posing as a Price Club membership and now has registrants subject to Nazi-like laws.
Does everyone know Mike Tyson is a registered sex offender? Janice should reach out to Tyson. Tyson can use his Illuminati connections to change laws!! Like Obama said “Yes We Can!” Obama would not stand for IML because he believes in us and we need to write to him and tell him what Congress passed without him knowing!! Back to Tyson: He is a multi billionaire, so with his support he can use his billions of dollars to fund sex offender rights. Tyson made billions from boxing and invested it all into his Tyson Food Company! Tyson is the most popular and best athelete and celebrity of all time…. so he can be the posterboy and put a friendly/reputable face for our cause. Plus guess what! Tyson knows Allen Dershawitz…. the smartest legel beagle of HARBARD LAW SCHOOL who kept Mike out of prison!! STAY POSITIVE!! Its whats keeping me alive at this point!! I live in a tent in downtown LA, I can’t find housing, I work part time as a janitor and I’m single and lonely as no woman wants a sex offender!! BUT ITS OK..
judging by what Castro had to say about Obama and America’s government, I’d say it’s a safe bet we could live in Cuba.
i wounder how much the US gives in aid to other to support this BS
The famous line,” a government for the people, bye the people”, no longer has meaning. All branches act in their own best political interest with no regard for public views or public interest. We now officially have two Americas, one that we live in, one that they want to push on the rest of the world. I hope I see the day when we take this country back, but I don’t hold out much hope. The public is spineless and stupid, and our government knows and uses this. We are no longer the greatest nation. We are second rate and the bully on the block is about to get his lunch handed to him by a smarter and nor determined foe. Our arogance is going to be our downfall.
It’s kind of funny how Donald Trump wants to build a wall to keep all immigrants out at the cost of Mexico, Obama was said to be a reasonable rational man with exceptional logical knowledge (no disrespect) but Obama commented on Trumps statement “this is just one more example of something that is not thought through and is a primary put forward for polotical consumption” in that case Mr Obama why was the (IML) signed sooooo quick? to me your signature was signed with very-very
little knowledge and research of a hot topic that what seams to be a underground topic of the registration community, now things are on hold and being researched about this mark and notification, the Philippines or the UK or whatever country may
be or seam to have a higher rate for sex tourism, the individual that are looking
for (ban that particular group of people) and if he or she is so dangerous revoke that passport from any kind of travel, the Government is up in our business
regardless if we like it or not (kind of like a evil secret santa) just
because “example” -random number- 100 people were caught in some kind of over seas sex tourism, now look at the 500 thousand that have actually travelled for and to family, not to mention business, even if a registrant has sent his child abroad to further his education and graduated, how would the registrant be able to attend any type of ceramony? how do individuals expect to move forward “just because” 5 percent actually got caught doing negative activities, the states and the Government
is looking at that other 95 percent the same as that 5 percent, this registration is growning like a wild fire and it’s out of control!! and i’m not speaking about the individuals *the laws* yes there are some pretty sick twisted people but as every one knows, there are many-many-many individuals that have “not” committed another sex related offence in the last 10 years, the last 15 years, the last 20 years, and i’m sure 25 and beyond, and yes they have there own families, travelled abroad, have a job, raised and are continuing to raise there very own children, every day i read soooo much negativity about new bills that say no! new laws that say you can’t, where’s a bill or law that is actually going to help?
Keep and eye on the Panama Papers. That is where one will most likely find traffickers and tourists of ill repute, not in the registry.
