On October 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Gundy v. United States. In this case the Court will once more be asked to interpret the Sex Offender Notification and Registration Act (SORNA). Petitioner Gundy asks the Court to review an issue under the Act which he claims impacts “hundreds of thousands of individuals.” Namely, whether SORNA improperly delegates to the U.S. Attorney General authority to decide whether the law’s registration requirements should apply to sex offenders who were convicted before SORNA was passed. Gundy argues that SORNA’s delegation of authority to the attorney general to issue regulations under 42 U.S.C. § 16913 violates the nondelegation doctrine. Director of the Center for Judicial Engagement for the Institute for Justice, Sheldon Gilbert, will join us to preview this interesting case, which impacts several practice areas of law.
