Why didn't they extend the statute of limitations for the longest serving ReTHUG

[malaise]

Speaker of the House - the abuser of young boys Denny Hastert????

Looks like all norms can be torn to bits for the rich black man

1. Who is "they" in your question?

[malaise]

3. The Judges and politicians

who can move mountains for their given agendas.

Even M$Greedia failed to cover Hastert with the same enthusiasm and there should have been even more

[jberryhill]

4. I don't understand your point at all

First off, the criminal charges against Cosby were filed within the statute of limitations for sexual assault in Pennsylvania.

Second, Hastert was never accused of doing anything in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania and Ohio have different laws.

So you seem to be accusing a nebulous and fictional "they" of some kind of inconsistency which exists only in your mind in the first place, as the statute of limitations was NOT extended for Cosby in the first place.

Secondarily, you seem to think the courts of Ohio and Pennsylvania are run by the same people. They aren't.

2. Well, you can find the reason right here

Article 1, Section 9

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Article 1, Section 10

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

I assume you are referring to the Cosby case, and all I can tell you is that he is being tried in the one jurisdiction where the statute of limitations had not expired. He has faced civil suits for other instances where the statute had expired.

5. Which norm was torn to shreds?

And for which rich black man?
