UPDATE 6/30/19: Tennessee Judge Grants Temporary Restraining Order [floridaactioncommittee.org – 6/30/19]
Original article:
Last Sunday, Jason broke the news to his 7-year-old daughter: He’d be moving out. When a new Tennessee law goes into effect Monday, he will be barred from living with her. The law, Senate Bill 425, also forbids him from being alone with his daughter, meaning he can’t handle doctor’s appointments or pick her up from school, and he and his wife will need to hire childcare since she works full-time. His daughter cried when she heard but understood, Jason said, and told him she didn’t want her father to go to jail. Full Article
No way this passes the strict scrutiny that breaking up families will get.
I hope they have that on the record somewhere that this was done in response to a nearby state doing it and they didnt want registered folk migrating. Perfect Bill of attainder.
This is the one thing that has always made me nervous. I have two children 14 and 13, boy and girl. The boy is the fruit of my sex offense. I have joint legal and physical custody of both. I had to fight the state Child Protective Services in court for three years to gave rights to my son, and prevailed. Although I am no longer required to register under state law, I still dread the idea that new legislation could swoop in and try to terminate my parental rights after 15 years.
Attention! “Good Baptist” of TN God said in “But if you DO NOT forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Mat 6:14).
Nice to see the two week TRO issued to stop this madness from starting. Won’t make it necessarily any easier on the families until it is completely stopped, but two weeks is nice to have with a long holiday weekend included.
GREAT NEWS!
3 John Does (individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated) took TN Gov. Wm. Lee et al. to court on this.
As of 6/28/2019 @ 12 PM a Temporary Restraining Order was issued in US District Court for Middle District of TN by Judge Campbell. The TRO expires 7/12/19 absent further order of the court. The John Does request for a preliminary injunction will be considered on 7/11/19 at 3PM as set by separate court order.
The court found that the plaintiff’s demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits of :
1) Their Ex Post Facto Clause
2)That they will suffer immediate and irreparable injury, harm, loss or damage if injunctive relief is not granted pending a preliminary injunction hearing.
3)The balance of relative harms among the parties weighs in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendants.
4)The public interest will not be harmed by injunctive relief pending a preliminary injunction hearing.
These John Does were father’s raising their children, one who has an autistic son that he cares for, another who home schools his daughter and takes care of the family farm while his wife works long shifts as a nurse, a third works construction then and he cares for their 2 children when he gets home from work while his wife works.
These are people just like us who stood up and said NO, this can’t happen. Enough is enough!
It was ordered by the court that pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65: Defendants, their officers, agent, employees, servants, attorneys and all person in active concert or participation with them, are hereby enjoined and restrained from enforcing Subsection (c) (3) of PC374, pending further order of the court.
In a nutshell, no registrants will be forced out of their homes, at until the next hearing.
Avalanche the court with letters, let them know how this law would have affected you.
The 3 John Does did their part….let the courts hear from you on this one, this could be the tipping point!
So, someone please correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn’t this fall under the 6th Circuits ruling of unconstitutional and punishment? and the expos facto clause? I’m glad I am in Michigan even though they are still dragging their feet, and supposedly have until August 21st to fix our registry, but that probably won’t happen. So shouldn’t Tennessee’s ACLU be bring up the 6th Circuits rulingof Punishment and the expos facto clause. Just asking.
This has to be stopped!!Are they Nazis down in those states. Or just F-in dumbass!! I am tipping to Nazis do to the fact they want to break up family. Dont those Nazis understand what laws you pass today will impact there own family in the future!!! And it did not go so good for the Nazis of Hitler!! Guess people should rename Tennessee The Hitler State see how they will like to be given a label of a monster 👹 ( where you from )(Tennessee ) Oh the Hitler state you a Nazis killer of family. Plus i just love how people say if it only protect one child from abuse. We must pass laws. Just like the war on drugs but this is the war on Sex / Feelings!! You hurt my feeling!! I will call the cops and say you raped me! If you try to see your child i will say you molest them. It a never ending story! Lies make more money for states than truth and that is SAD!!! We have more people in prison than any other country in this world!! And we have the most poeple on a sex list too. Too what point does having people on a list save someone! It dont! And never will!! And what point does make to kick people out of there homes who have little kids. That is just Nazis invasion!!! Hope people wake up and kill that bill or make the Court’s do it
This is sadistic bullshit! Someone needs to go to court and get an injunction, TRO, or whatever to stop this law!!!

Thank goodness for lawyers to help these families. In TN there are so many restrictions on Sex Offenders, I admire the men and women who make it thru. No alcohol,(even tho your 21 years old), internet ( freedom of speech) shopping at malls , National parks, water parks, amusement parks, carnivals, fairs, major ball games(such as Nashville’s Nissan Stadium), no working public jobs, such as Wal-Mart or McDonalds, any place underage go. Sex Offenders in TN have to take the low pay factory jobs if they’ll hire a sex offender and then what pay they make it goes to court cost, fines, probation, 40 dollars cash each week to required sex offender class.
You accept what you want and let others do the same !!
That attitude is why Hell continues for RCs !!
Just let it be !
It is what it is !!
What can we do ….uhh just !
Suck it up !
Oh well !!
That’s life !!
Swallow what you want and don’t tell the next man what he should do !
