Appeal article

Heres an article on the appeal. IT was a state court not federal. Still I dont expect the Iowa supreme court to overturn the judge. He is right.

http://www.press-citizen.com/news/040104challenge.htm

The article does mention there was a federal court that also struck down this law. So its been struck down by two different courts.

"Johnson County Attorney J. Patrick White, who was named as a defendant in the federal lawsuit filed by the Iowa Civil Liberties Union, has declined to comment on the legal snags because the matter still is pending. White has publicly denounced the statute as "Draconian" with "serious constitutional problems.""


Even the county attorney in the case (who was sued) is saying its a bad law. That doesnt happen to often does it? Where even the legal guys are against it.

Still this court justice was a bit off the mark here.

""There is no logical connection between the residency restriction that's imposed by the state and the goal that it seeks to achieve which is the safety of children," he said.

Justice Marsha Ternus challenged that assertion.

"You don't think that a person who lives across the street from a school has more opportunity just by common sense than somebody who lives a half a mile away?" she said."


Common sense would say about 99% of sex offenders are not the "stranger danger" types eh justice Ternus? They might also say common sense indicates most sex offenders can walk 1000 feet to find a victim? So who is this law really protecting at all?
