Supreme Court blocks retroactive sex crime prosecutions law

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the government cannot retroactively erase statutes of limitations to prosecute old sex crimes. The decision hampers cases against former priests and raises questions about post 2001 terrorism laws. Justice Breyer led the majority citing fairness to victims and avoidance of revived long-forbidden prosecutions.
