Trying to prtect his and Obama’s future?
He wants felons to vote? Why not, they’re serving in the administration.
Why shouldn’t felons vote? After all, most of them are “his” type of people.
The 14th amendment recognizes the right of states to deny the right to vote to persons guilty of a crime...not that Holder and Obama won’t continue to try to find a way to force states to give felons voting rights.
My son has a felony and HATES OBAMA! He is a staunch conservative and actually converted some prisoners in prison.
I was thinking the same thing. And while we are at it, why should anyone be required to provide an ID when purchasing a firearm?
Yes, then they can vote to enact legislation so their future criminal acts are no longer felonies. Or crimes at all.
The Boston Tea Party participants would have been "felons" in their day.
Heres an alternative headline: Nations Top Cop Says Let Criminals Help Pick Sheriffs.
Or:
“Holder’s Department of Gestapo Justice Voids Felon No-Vote Law.”
The Constitution does not enumerate rights granted to individuals. It enumerates and restricts the powers granted to the federal government.
What Holder wants is more registered democrats to ‘vote’ if they don't show up at the polls.
That's how dems do voter fraud. They vote the people who don't show up. It's why the dead are ‘voted’. They don't show up.
How many ‘dead’ vote is a good indicator of how much fraud is going on. The lower the ‘dead vote’ the lower the fraud necessary to win the election by a small margin.
If a felon has his right to vote restored, then they should restore ALL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS TO FELONS INCLUDING GUN OWNERSHIP.
It’s wishful thinking but now that America is so populated everyone would be happier if states rights were transferred to county level rights. It would let the big city Democrats destroy their rat nests and let rural conservatives live free. Conservatives should support felons and illegals voting in the big city counties because it adds yet another reason they are terrible places to live.
Quite frankly, as a former Prosecutor, all felonies are not created equal. I simply don’t think that all felons should be permanently barred from voting. There are many non-violent felonies that shouldn’t require that extreme a penalty.
characteristics that most felons possess; they are lazy, most are dumb and they think the world owes them something and if they don’t get it, they take it. Except for the dumb part in most cases, that also describes DC politicians.
“African-Americans represent more than a third of the estimated 5.8 million people who are prohibited from voting...”
That means that two thirds of them ARE NOT african “americans”.
They have been voting Democrat for years.
One right keeps democrats in power,
the other is a threat to democrats’ power.
