MI: SCOTUS to consider Snyder v. Doe for review

Admin

Today, in a private session, the U.S. Supreme Court will be discussing an important case concerning the sex offense registry. News may come as soon as Monday, March 27th. The State of Michigan has asked the court to review a ground-breaking ruling by a lower federal court, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court is set to discuss the request for review today; review is granted in very few cases. If they turn down the request – the 6th Circuit ruling remains intact and directly impacts the states in the 6th Circuit (Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee). If they grant review – anything can happen. If accepted for review, the case would not be heard until the Fall. Below are links to the 6th Circuit ruling, news headlines that explain its importance, and the documents for the Supreme Court review.  –Bill Dobbs, The Dobbs Wire

Hello everyone,

Well I wasn’t sure were to post this, but here it is anyway, I got an e-mail from Ms Aukerman on Friday night about the Michigan v Boban Temelkoski case. As some of you may know a lot of his case is very similar to the Snyder case. The only exception being it ONLY deals with Michigan Registrants, anyway she sent me the supplemental briefs for Temelkoski and for the State of Michigan. It also mentions the Snyder case a lot in their arguments,the only problem is they are both in PDF form so I am trying to figure out how to copy them so I can leave a linksso everyone else can read them, and possibly explain them to me in layman’s terms.
