    You need to take a look at court cases across the nation, then.

    Need examples?

    That is what I was saying as well. Sexual assault is a much more real threat to me than someone murdering me. Since I live by a college campus and spend a lot of time at one, and college campuses are notorious for rapes and we have lots of them every year. Scary, scary shirt. But almost no one ever gets murdered.

    Incidentally, tons of things that we and the government do every day is unconsitutional and no one seems to care.

    The ACLU is challenging and is scheduled to challenge several sex registry laws (and many other sex laws) in the following states:

    HAWAII-

    UPDATE: Hawaii Supreme Court ruled registry is unconstitutional.

    MICHIGAN-

    UPDATE: A federal judge declared Michigan's sex offender registry unconstitutional.

    MAINE-

    UPDATE: The state of Maine is in the process of removing the registry.

    States currently being sued by the ACLU--
    VERMONT
    LOUSIANA
    MINNESOTA


    Need more?

    I placed a few more. Some of which keep going back and forth.

    But, ultimately the Constitutional thinkers WILL win over the conservative reactionaries.

    Right...... tell that to the 5 justices that just threw out the knock and announce statutes for police with warrants.

    Im sorry but there seems to be a real fog in that statement. The patriot act, idle laws, double standards for different groups, the list goes on and on that our constitution is just a basis for a joke anymore and that it gets shredded everyday in the name of goverment.

    I understand where you guys are coming from and I agree. Things have went too far, but I DO have an undying optimism that ultimately progressives, such as the ACLU, will fight the good fight and come out victorious.
