        The statute of limitations does not apply. He’s a conservative “leader” in Texas. He ain’t gettin’ charged.

          The statute of limitations only prevent old crimes from being dug up and brought to trial- mostly because at that point it’s hard to prove.

          The reality is, this guy absolutely won’t get charged. Because of the pure bias.

          Unless… someone were to, I dunno, tell Ken Paxton he did drag on Tuesday nights… but that would be totally unethical; and we really don’t need to play into that bullshit.

            That also needlessly furthers their association with child molesters and drag when drag had nothing to do with it.

              Which is why it’d be totally unethical, yes.

              If it didn’t harm lgbtq/drag… it’d only be questionably unethical. Actually that could be an interesting ethics debate right there.
