Yeah, and why do they take people's right-to-vote away just because they're dead? That's discrimination!

“Restore” . . . when did they ever have it?

Funny how they are “rights” when the libs want to grant them, and then “privileges” when they want to take them away.

Sure, if they will also restore Second Amendment rights. How’s that, Eric?

The pos will surely not, at this point, let a little thing like states’ authority stand in the way. He’ll just cut off “federal” funding or something, to the ones who don’t fall in.

Hypothetically, might the following dots be possible in Holder's world?

1. Felons get vote in all states.

2. Felons given "considerations" from Dems, Dem judges and unions, including job prefs, early-outs from jail, political correctness status, and etc?

3. Felons respond in kind, vote Dem, but are unafraid to do so multiple times, and to intimidate opposing (GOP) voters, and commit wholesale vote theft and fraud (these ARE felons, afterall).

.

Could this be intent, or am I just a worrier?

How about just getting rid of all laws completely? There is no difference, and that is what we have seen during his sinecure. This man is a fool, but “correct a fool and be called foolish.” Euripides

What’s the matter Holder? Running out of dead people to vote for your party?

You should really think about which countries don’t have extradition treaties with the U.S., Eric.

I'm probably in the minority, but I believe that once a person's sentence is served, they should have all of their rights restored.

Now, if we still can't trust them with the vote or with firearms, then they should still be in prison.
