This is a very technical ruling.
The US Attorney General made the federal sex offender registry requirements apply retro-actively to people who were convicted before the law required them to register in any state where they live.
Defendant argued that the Attorney General could not make this decision because it is up to Congress to pass laws. But in this Court ruled that the law had already been passed by Congress and the AG was just using his authority to determine how it would be enforced when he made it apply retroactively.
