Why is a federal hearing in a California court?
So if Judge Bernal decides to eliminate SORNA in ca or allows it in California, then either they appeal or the Pacific Legal Foundation , will file an appeal correct? Either way nothing‘s gonna happen anytime soon in regards to it correct? And if the judge decides for it in California, does the temporary injunction still stay in place? Until he renders the final decision from the appeals? Someone please respond!! Thank You
You all might enjoy watching/listening to this federal court hearing. I listen to the last one online while on vacation a couple years ago. It was very amusing hearing the judge ask good pointed questions about SORNA of the Department of Justice lawyer, putting her on the spot so her responses sounded quite ridiculous as noted by the judge! Very amusing to watch. 😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have asked several times if there’s any chance SORNA can help former residents of California to be relieved of the requirement to register.
According to the Public Defender San Diego the law specifically states that only the residents of California qualify. She said moving to California would remedy that but as a 70 year old disabled Veteran living in Florida, a cross country move is impossible.
Bummer that the hearing got pushed back and may still be kicked down the road.
Instead of a month, they should post what YEAR this hearing is going to be held. There’s only about 300 million more yrs before our planet is consumed by the sun, so the Feds better hurry!
Judge Bernal issued a ruling some time ago that prevented the feds from imposing FTR charges on those who have been de-registered, as they no longer can, by CA court order, be registered anywhere in the state. The feds didn’t like it and attempted to jam up a person no longer required to register, by stating that he failed to register, simply because the feds wanted him to be registered.
Judge Bernal basically told the feds to go get bent when it comes to people who have been through the legal process of de-registration in CA cases, as they have no chance of ever walking into a LE office again and getting someone there to register them ONLY under the guidelines of the federal level.
The feds maintain no LE offices where one can register, so CA people who have been afforded the winning of their de-registration case simply cannot go to any LE office in CA and become registered again.
Judge Bernal is supposed to be issuing a final order that I believe would restrict the feds nationwide, (I could be wrong on this here), so that people in their state of conviction who also enjoy de-registration, cannot get jammed up by the feds because they are no longer required to register in their state.
The feds don’t want people from CA who enjoy the de-registration to be able to travel across the country willy-nilly without having eyes on every move they make.
The ruling from Judge Bernal DOES NOT relieve a person of the obligation to register in another state should the CA person decide to move there. The protection only applies to de-registered people who remain in CA.
Another states’ laws regarding prerequisites to register still remain those of that state.
Thank you for posting this notification, ACSOL!
July 14 also happens to be 🇫🇷 Bastille Day – France’s equivalent of America’s 4th of July – celebrating the victory of the French people’s Revolution against oppression. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
More than 250 years later and we are still fighting government oppression. 😒
Funny how nobody responds to the third question in this thread which is like the most important!🤦
And What if I decide to Record the hearing Anyhow?
If I want to record it Nobody can stop me from doing so.
Well, I’ll be there for my BDay so I will try TRY to get in, UNLESS…the chg the date AGAIN!
I believe this outcome will be more fair and just than unlike other case Judges in the Dist Ct.
Is one allowed to attend in person?
It appears to me as an ignorant, uneducated person in law, where I may possibly be misunderstanding, that the US Supreme Court’s ruling today regarding court injunctions, does not help those (including me) who live outside the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals should there be any further injunctions in the current SORNA case.
I have a question if under SORNA your designation is Tier 2 but State assigns Tier 3 where do you land in SORNA?
Is it a good thing or a bad thing that this case keep getting kicked down the road? It just feels like the feds are trying to bury this case with time, trying to exhaust funds or the desire.
I plan to be there if the date does not change. Hopefully good things will happen with this.
Since the beginning of my experience with the registry, I find it extremely hard to believe that each year laws are passed which adds punishment to a sole count of which I was falsely accused but as a member of the Navy, I couldn’t afford an attorney and found myself having to accept a plea deal. It seemed like the logical thing to do especially since I was able to withdraw my original plea of nolo contender and enter a plea of not guilty thanks to Petition 1203.1 a year later. But not being able to file for a petition to be removed from the registry because I no longer live in California though the DOJ granted me Tier 2 status in 2021 and with my case dating back to 1991 I have fulfilled the requirement to be removed but cannot due to being no longer a California resident.
Why does this hearing keep getting bounced into the future like a rock aimlessly skipping across a lake? Can the basis/reason for the perpetual can-kicking at least be added to the “Update” page?
Aug 4th is the new hearing. ::: sighs :::
Janice, when do you think will the appropriate time for PLF and ACSOL to actually conduct the hearing? After the mid-term elections? There’s gotta be an end goal for both parties to kick the case down the road often, but I, an probably many others, don’t know what that end goal is.
I used to be hyped up about this case. Nowadays, I think it’s going nowhere for several years.
ISVOR is treason against Article 1, Section 13. (b) Indiana Constitution. The founding fathers specified a clear distinction between the powers granted to victims throughout the criminal justice process to effectively prevent an over extension of power given to any citizen that would potentially infringe upon the constitutional rights of other citizens which is exactly what Zachery’s law has done is it has abrogated the numerous constitutional rights of American citizens throughout the criminal justice process hence having to register oneself in order to retain their freedom after having served their sentence. Victims can’t infringe upon constitutional rights is state constitutional law which effectively proves that the legislature was never delegated the power by the constitution to enact the sex offense registry created on behalf of victims of crime pursuant to Zachery’s law or Megan’s law which have been turned into their own document that’s acting above the constitutions and the Declaration of Independence. We have a Constitution in this country. This isn’t Zachery’s law or any pretext of a citizens name that have been enacted into their own law. This is treason.
With the Chevron deference ruling by SCOTUS how can the DOJ even argue that an agency can make law? Also is there a pool for bets on the date that the hearing will next be postponed to?
Why was the Sorna hearing canceled?
Does the cancelation mean the current injunction remains in place, similar to SCOTUS declining to take up a case means the most recent ruling is it?
