 | | 980 "advances two `legitimate and compelling' state interests: `to protect the community from the dangerously mentally disordered and to provide care and treatment to those with mental disorders that predispose them to sexual violence.'" Ransdell, 2001 WI App 202 at ¶7 (quoting from Post, 197 Wis. 2d at 302-303, 541 N.W.2d at 122). |
 | | 980, the significant differences between the degree of danger posed by each of the two classes of persons, as well as the differences in what must be proven in order to commit under the two chapters, justify on a strict-scrutiny analysis the disparate, but narrowly tailored, procedures about which Hogan and Williams complain. |
 | | 980 is made before the initial applicability of a change in those procedures but the judgment is entered after that date, and the act sets entry of the "judgment" as the critical date, as does 1999 Wis. Act 9 here. |
