If you think about this from a rhetorical perspective, it's incredibly effective. My previous comment on this post remarked on the political motivations for this, I'm expounding a bit. Basically you're saying "Let's restrict rights for sex offender (an incredibly loose term but with huge emotional connotations" and no matter what your political opponent says, you can tar him with being "soft on sex offenders". If I were a politician, this would be a no-brainer masterstroke. I would do it in a minute to ensure my re-elections. I just find it incredibly sleazy.
