When Will Ohio Supreme Court Rule on AWA?

This is an update to our previous post: When Will Ohio Supreme Court Rule on AWA?

Our sources have informed us that the Ohio Supreme Court will not rule on these four consolidated cases until after the May 4, 2010 Primary Election date. Three Ohio Supreme Court Justice seats are up for grabs in this Primary.

Seat Candidate Details Results
Chief Justice (R): Maureen O' Connor (D): Eric Brown Thomas Moyer is leaving office.
Justice, January 1 Term (R): Judith Ann Lanzinger (D): Mary Jane Trapp Judith Ann Lanzinger is up for re-election.
Justice, January 2 Term (R): Paul Pfeifer Paul Pfeifer is up for re-election.

It sickens us to see political motivations play into these crucial constitutional cases. It is simply shameful that Justices will not simply do the right thing, without regard for their re-election aspirations. Instead, they allow this Ohio Adam Walsh Act/SORNA/Senate Bill 10 sex offender law to continue its devastation within the families of 30,000 Ohio citizens.
