I'm confident the statute that this sick appellate court overturned will be revised.

This republican legislator nails it.

State Rep. Bill Zedler, R-Arlington, said the 2005 statute was originally proposed to keep children from being groomed by sexual predators. If the courts continue to block the law, lawmakers may have to sit down with the attorney general and come up with acceptable language, Zedler said.

“The purpose of the First Amendment was to allow political dissent, not to allow adults to be vulgar with minors,” Zedler said.
