Federal Civil Commitment of Sex Offenders under Review by Supreme Court
This past January, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in US v. Comstock, a case concerning the constitutional authority of the federal government to civilly commit those found to be "sexually dangerous" for indefinite periods of time upon completion of their federal prison sentences.
Thought I heard the court upheld this 7-2.
