He has the mind of a imbecile.
He wants to be allowed to vote after his ethics investigation is completed.
Because he fears he will soon be behind bars himself?
“I’m not defending any of their conduct, but all of it wasn’t bad”
“Mah boyee be a goot boyee” and so on.
The new Democratic base = illegals, felons.
The 2nd Amendment reads "Shall Not Be Infringed" -- and yet, neither the Constitution *nor* the Bill of Rights, even pretends to grant universal suffrage.
Why should we? Permanently losing the right to vote is part of the punishment that goes along with being a felon.
don’t look at me, look over there.
Conyers wants felons to vote so he and his wife can vote.
I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it, a felony - once upon a time - was a conviction worthy of death. I know this has changed over time, but that would explain why this forfeited the “privilege” of voting. I’m not sure at all where I stand on this now - putting all felons in the same basket does not really seem right to me. It is clear to me that some felons really have forfeited the right to vote, but by making too many laws a felony we have abused this definition.
I’d be interested in other thoughts on this subject.

Yes, I know I want prison inmates voting on law and order issues. /s
How about three strikes and your out? I’ll bet that’s popular with today’s inmates.
Far more people are denied their rights under the the 2nd amendment than are denied the right to vote.
I don’t believe people convicted of domestic violence should have access to guns but they are allowed to vote. In NJ there is a list of at least 30 non-felony offences that stip you of your 2nd amendment rights but not the right to vote.
I’m sure Conyers is Ok with that.
That was initially designed to allow Reconstruction governments to deny the vote to white Southerners who had supported the Confederacy.
I fully believe that prison inmates should be able to vote for certain offices. Prison librarian, for example
But only for offices held by prisoners within the prison.
If Conyers wants their votes, all he need do is to tell the truth about certain of his past activities and I’m sure he’ll have the opportunity.
And, we the people have been paying for the transportation of women for his sexual liaisons.
Yeah right. He’s getting ready for hisself to vote 100 dimwit ballots from his prison cell
.
Does this leave any doubt about who votes for Dems?
.
Because they are lawless reprobates John!
Allow We The People To Incarcerate Conyers.
Sure, allow them to have mock elections just like kids in school. Just don’t mix their votes with the legitimate totals.
Sure. Let them have their own congressional districts, and you can be the representative of one of them, and have your office in the maximum security cells, when you’re not in Washington chasing booty.
