Except $ZERO dollars are appropriated for such a process. So there is no one to hear your case, no one to render a judgment. Just a process.

You are correct, I do not suggest special treatment for felons nor government dole to correct what they themselves have created. THEY, the felon, can pay for a lawyer, if that is important to them. Why in the hell should I pay for it. They brought it on themselves. Its called consequences and responsibility.

I want citizenship to mean more, not less. Felons do and should lose certain rights.

And then there is the issue of just how many things are now "felonies". It is just gun control by other means.

I wouldn't repeat so often, if what I said weren't' ignored. If jaywalking were a felony, the way to fix that is to make it a misdemeanor, not to make murder a $5 fine.

What for? There is no one for the lawyer to plea to, no one to render a decision. The process exists in theory only. It is dishonest to pretend otherwise.

No one suggested that. How ridiculous.
