Time for every single RC who can do so to move to Pleasant Prairie. 🙂
They truly had a banishment ordinance, making people leave town! Nothing like singling people out.

This case is a nice win for our side, and continues to show the federal judiciary can and will properly apply the Constitution, even in a Smith and CT DPS world.

It’s also one more sign for me that SCOTUS will not only accept Snyder, but will rule in our favor, and may even decide more broadly that the whole scheme of MI SORA, and all similar, is unconstitutional.

More raindrops in the coming flood of helpful court decisions…drip, drip, drip.

This is great and all, but haven’t sex offenders been living under a bridge in Miami Florida since 2006 due to residency restrictions and gotten nowhere with lawsuits?

So encouraging to hear of victories here and there. God bless Janice and other civil rights warriors, not to mention the judges who have the wisdom amd courage to make the right decisions.

This article gives a bit more depth to the story, including that the city acknowledged their goal was to drive RCs out of town! Also mentioned is the RCs are pursuing damages against the city. Yes!
