City of Issaquah sex offender law is upheld

As reported here, the ordinance passed recently by the City of Issaquah restricting where convicted sex offenders could live (only in certain designated areas and no closer than 1000 feet to a school or day care), was upheld in King County Superior Court, after the Washington chapter of the ACLU sued to overturn the ordinance. Since Issaquah's ordinance was enacted, the City of Monroe also passed a similar ordinance, with other cities also considering similar measures. I first blogged about this here, and here.

This is good news for parents, although the ACLU will probably try to have the ordinance overturned on different legal grounds. Remember, the ACLU is the organization that has been fighting to allow child pornography, and man-boy sexual relationships, saying that "no harm" comes to children in these situations. They are also the organization that has been fighting to eliminate all mention of "God" - as applied to Christianity, that is - from anything remotely to do with government.
