Dem Congressman Once Lobbied Against Child Sex Offender Registry Bill

A Democratic congressman once fought against legislation that strengthened and improved the national child sex offender registry before taking office.

Tom Malinowski, before becoming a Democratic congressman from New Jersey, lobbied against a 2006 bill that imposed tougher penalties on sex offenders, a review of congressional records and lobbying disclosures by The Washington Free Beacon found. He said that expanding sex offender registry requirements would put sex offenders “at risk of retaliation and discrimination.”

The bill, Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, was intended “to protect children from sexual exploitation and violent crime, to prevent child abuse and child pornography, to promote Internet safety, and to honor the memory of Adam Walsh and other child crime victims,” according to the legislation’s text.

The Senate ultimately passed the bill on July 20, 2006, and the bill became law on July 27, 2006.

The bill established a three-tiered system within the comprehensive national system for the registration of sex offenders based on specific criteria, such as the “seriousness of the underlying offense and the age of any child involved and increased various other penalties for sex offenders.”

The bill requires periodic updates of convicted sex offender registry information.

It also lists specific types of information states must include in the state sex offender public registries and standardizes the information to share between jurisdictions.

Malinowski was a top lobbyist for Human Rights Watch in 2006 and joined in sending a letter to Congress arguing that there was “no legitimate community safety justification” for strengthening the registry, the Beacon reported.

Human Rights Watch is an organization focused on investigating and reporting abuses “happening in all corners of the world,” according to its website.

Obama-Appointed Judge Dismisses House GOP Lawsuit Against Pelosi’s Proxy Voting System

Obama-appointed federal judge Rudolph Contreras on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit brought by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) against Speaker Pelosi that challenged the constitutionality of her proxy voting system.

Judge Contreras ruled that the House has “absolute immunity from civil suit” under the Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution and tossed the lawsuit.

In May the House held its first ‘proxy vote’ since Congress first met in 1789 and GOP leader Kevin McCarthy sued to stop the constitutional abomination.

Pelosi previously argued: “The House’s position that remote voting by proxy during a pandemic is fully consistent with the Constitution is supported by expert legal analyses.”

71 Democrats voted ‘by proxy’ in its first vote since adoption of its party-line rule!

ONE Democrat in Maryland voted SEVEN TIMES on legislation in Congress in May.

Kevin McCarthy said proxy voting in the House is a “dereliction of its duty by its members.”

“The Constitution of the United States spells it out many times. Congress must physically assemble and hold a quorum in order to conduct the People’s business,” Kevin McCarthy said.

In late June Pelosi unilaterally extended her unconstitutional proxy voting scheme for another 45 days.

This is pure lawlessness and unprecedented corruption from Pelosi and Obama Judge Contreras.

Report Shows Massive Corruption: Las Vegas Sent Out 223,000 Ballots to Wrong Address in June Primary But Democrats Pass Mail-in Voting Anyway

Last weekend Democrat Governor Sisolak and Nevada Democrats called a special session with no public present and inside of 24 hours they rammed through mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.

Democrats did this during the special legislative session.

The new Democrat law allows people not related to or friends with elderly voters to fill out their ballots and turn them in to be counted!

This was a shocking development considering 223,000 Las Vegas ballots went to the wrong address in the June primary!

That was 17 percent of the vote!

Canada Will Impose Dollar-for-Dollar Retaliatory Tariffs Against US, Trudeau Says

Canada will impose countermeasures, including dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs against the United States, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.

"In response to the American tariffs announced today, Canada will impose countermeasures that will include dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs", Trudeau said via Twitter on Thursday. "We will always stand up for our aluminium workers. We did so in 2018 and we will stand up for them again now".

Earlier in the day, the National Chamber of Commerce issued a statement calling on the United States to lift the newly re-introduced tariff.

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced during a campaign-style stop in Clyde, Ohio, that he has signed a proclamation re-imposing tariffs on Canadian aluminium. He added that he was advised by US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer that the move is "absolutely necessary".

In May of 2019, the Trump administration lifted the 25 percent tariff on Canadian aluminium after reaching an agreement as part of the updated North American Free Trade Agreement – the USMCA - negotiations.
