John F. Di Leo is a Chicago-based international trade compliance trainer. A former precinct captain, campaign manager, and Milwaukee County Republican Party Chairman, he has now been a recovering politician for over sixteen years.

Why does he write about himself in the third-person?

That is an indicator or serious mental issues.

Not really an N-JCT ping, a Constitutional Eligibility ping, a 3-D printer ping, a Red Dwarf ping, Bring Out Your Dead ping, homosexual minority humpback whale ping, or even a JBT ping, but a worthy read none-the-less...

I feel it really depends on what the felony is, as to whether they should regain citizenship rights.

Once Dear Leader enacts shariaa, we wont have to worry about such things. No one will have rights.

“A Proud Queen courted by fifty duchys and Chicago is her name”...LJK.. 1st Book Of Moses http://www.theusmat.com/natdesk.htm Chicago still has only 50 wards. So it’s not Chicago but do know Milwaukee has a terd ward.

“Yes indeed, it does seem to make sense, doesn’t it?” said his dad. “But the logic is flawed. Remember, voting rights aren’t the only rights that you lose for good after your sentence is up. There’s plenty of precedent for losing other rights as well, permanently, regardless of the sentence, depending on the crime.”

His mom joined in. “Exactly. Too many drunk driving convictions, and you lose your driver’s license for good, even after you’ve paid off your tickets.”

His dad volunteered “Molest kids, and you can be banned from a host of jobs for life, from teaching to clergy to working in stores that kids would frequent, like toy stores and children’s clothing stores. You can’t even live within a block of a school, even if it’s the only apartment you can afford.”

“And think of the professions,” his mom added. “Embezzle from a client, and you may only go to jail for a few years, but you use your law license or CPA for decades, or even for life.”

“Import/export privileges too,” his dad said. “If you get caught selling arms to terrorists, or facilitating some international criminal enterprise through money-laundering or violate the FCPA by bribing a foreign government official, you may only get a couple years in jail, and pay a fine… but you can be stripped of your export privileges for life.”

The problem with this counterargument is that it’s a false comparison. Not a single one of the things that the parents list are actual rights. They are all privileges that the state is free to grant or deny at will. Quite a bit different than voting rights, or second amendment rights.
