Question presented
QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW: Can the combined effect of federal, state, county and local sex-offender laws, obligations and restrictions, as applied, ever constitute 'cruel and unusual punishment' in violation of the U.S. Constitution? Does the government's sex-offender registration scheme violate the separation-of-powers clause(s)? [Neither the District Court nor the Appellate Court adequately discussed this issue, even though Petitioner, Aames, raised it in his lawsuit]. Do sexually-mature [past puberty] but legallyunderage gals have a constitutional privacy-right to CREATE fetuses, or only to abort them? If they have a right to create them also, do the sex-offender laws unduly interfere with that right? [this issue was not fully briefed below, but the Supreme Court can raise it sua sponte]. Minor's abortion rights were confirmed by Planned Parenthood of Central Missouri v. Danforth, 428 U.S. 52 [1976] 1
