U.S. Supreme court: USA -v- Carr Transcript of Oral Arguments

2-24-2010 Washington DC:

Today the U.S. Supreme court heard Oral Arguments in the case of USA -v- Carr. The complete transcript can be found HERE.

In case folks do not remember what the issue was:

Issue: Whether a person may be criminally prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. § 2250 for failure to register when the defendant’s underlying offense and travel in interstate commerce both predated the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act’s enactment ; whether the Ex Post Facto Clause precludes prosecution under § 2250(a) of a person whose underlying offense and travel in interstate commerce both predated SORNA’s enactment.

Once I have read it I will make further comments.

But, for now, have a great day & a better tomorrow.
