Love how it was said it could be retroactively applied to before the bill was passed in 2007. Really? How can our country allow that to happen? Why not just say to the beginning of time?
If this thinking was applied to all laws, more folks would be up in arms about the principle of applying it to before the bill was passed. This seems to me to contradict what MI just went through in being told in court they could not apply their RC law to before the bill was passed. Maybe I am wrong on that point.
I hope this doesn’t give them free range to apply this to every offender even after probation or parole…I think this was a losing argument to begin with…common sense says yes that of course they can apply this to high risk offenders on probation or parole…Now once off of supervision an absolutely NOOOO they should not be able tooooo….
