From the perspective of people like Maleng and the Kansas editorial writers,overturning the Kansas law would have been tantamount to declaring open season on children.For them,ignoring victims' experiences is every bit as inhumane as Hendricks and his supporters claim are the civil commitment statutes.n308 For example,the Capital-Journal criticized dissenting Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg,Steven Breyer,John Paul Stevens,and David Souter for a dissent "indicative of an ivory tower mentality; theirs is a reckless,paper- pushing,purely academic approach that arrogantly shows no deference to the crescendo of pleas from forty-five states and territories to uphold the law - a carefully crafted attempt at a modicum of public safety." n309
There is,however,a significant problem with the Court's decision:It leaves the door open for Kansas and other states to enact laws that serve an honorable purpose but abridge the constitutional rights of unpopular - even hated - subpopulations.n310 Leroy Hendricks had no reason to expect he could be indefinitely civilly committed for molesting a child.The application of a commitment statute enacted after he was already in prison had the same effect on Hendricks regardless of whether the State labeled the law civil or criminal.Hendricks experienced the sexual predator law as an ex post facto punishment.Given this precedent,states could conceivable enact other "civil" statutes to keep other repeat offenders - or even first-time offenders who are considered dangerous and mentally unbalanced - in prison.Laws work in part because they are consistent; people know what acts are unacceptable and what the punishment will be.By applying its sexual predator law to people convicted before its passage,Kansas indicated a willingness to increase the penalties for crimes and apply those penalties to whomever the State chooses with only superficial regard for constitutional safeguards.
Legal scholar Henry Abraham has called the U.S.Supreme Court the "teacher in an eternal national constitutional seminar." n311 One of the Court's essential functions is to educate the American public [*84] about the ongoing need for respect for constitutional rights; it does this through its opinions.n312 Another of the Court's essential functions,Abraham says,is protecting minority rights.n313 The majority will always find a reason and way to punish unpopular thought and behaviors.The Court must protect the unpopular because selective protection of citizens' constitutional rights is really no protection.Many,perhaps most,Americans fall into some category of minority class,thought,or behavior.Without uniform protection,how can citizens be sure their particular difference will not eventually target them for special prosecution?
