A recent Indiana statute prohibits most registered sex offenders from using social networking websites, instant messaging services, and chat programs. John Doe, on behalf of a class of similarly situated sex offenders, challenges this law on First Amendment grounds. We reverse the district court and hold that the law as drafted is unconstitutional. Though content neutral, we conclude that the Indiana law is not narrowly tailored to serve the state’s interest. It broadly prohibits substantial protected speech rather than specifically targeting the evil of improper communications to minors. * * * Court Decision: John Doe -v- Prosecutor, Marion County

You know something.
America might actually get back on track if the Constitution was actually followed. It has been abused for so long that it might not seem possible but it really is the only thing that makes America different from any other country.
