On one hand he is right that the state should not force businesses not to hire you. The label of felon is over applied and once you have served your time you should legally have all your rights restored.

I am also against government forcing businesses to hire her.

Let the employer decide but also make sure that the if the company is "felon friendly" that they are forced to disclose that.

Why?

If someone committed a crime twenty years ago, is it necessary to bring it up?

I would rather judge a person on who they are today and could be in the future than judge them by their past.

We have all done things we’re not proud of. And few of us are saints.
