. . . Enter the Louisiana Supreme Court. In an opinion written by Justice James Genovese and published on March 22, the court found an absolute property right in the institutions’ right not to be sued. The Louisiana Child Victims Act, wrote Genovese, “cannot be retroactively applied to revive plaintiffs’ prescribed causes of action,” since that would “divest defendants of their vested right to plead prescription”—to defend themselves by asserting that the statute of limitations had run. The decision essentially strikes down the look-back window, leaving survivors once again powerless to hold their abusers accountable. It is a harrowing example of the legal system’s ability to obscure the nature of disputes and turn survivors’ real-life trauma into euphemistic abstractions, while at the same time protecting powerful institutions in the name of otherwise ephemeral property rights.
Everything we know as a civilization tells us that there should be no statute of limitations on child sexual abuse. This is embarrassing to me as a member of the human race.
See! DRAG QUEENS are Hurting Children!
Bah, who needs justice? Just go burn a cross on their lawn or something like regular people used to.
Used too? Let me tell you about the current state that I moved too. Tennessee. Boy Howdy have I got news for you. Nashville is trying hard not to be the lady getting hit on the face by raw hotdogs but she doesn’t stand a chance. Pulaski I’m fairly sure founded the KKK. Until we get a justice system that wants people to be treated well, she’s going to be slapped by sausages all day long, and many “folks” are going to cheer.
