Moving forward, McAuliffe will individually restore the rights of other felons who meet the requirements First and foremost that they promise to vote a straight Democrat ticket.

Why doesn’t that fat-ass McAuliffe restore their rights to buy a GUN?
To: drewh
Funny republicans are always expected to immediately follow the court order but democrats just defy when them as they wish.

He didn’t “consider them” on a case by case basis, he expedited the paperwork for each case without considering a single thing - other than to consider himself Emperor. What a Democrat.

Thankfully, the state supreme court ruled his order unconstitutional last month!!This new action on the governor's part entirely circumvents that court ruling.

More like he’s asking for a rubber room and a new jacket.
McAuliffe blasted the court Monday for ignoring the “the clear text of the Constitution” and accused Republicans of trying to suppress voters’ voices. But he pledged to move forward, saying he won’t let the felon disenfranchisement “destroy lives and families, and destabilize communities.”
“These individuals are gainfully employed. They send their children and their grandchildren to our schools. They shop in our grocery stores and they pay taxes. And I am not content to condemn them for eternity as inferior second-class citizens,” McAuliffe said during an event at the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial.
...uh...why not just examine their cases on an individual basis and see if they each deserve to be reenfranchised?

Is he now going to restore the property and the lives those felons have destroyed, damaged, or taken?

Voter fraud right in front of your eyes.
To: tomkat
That is what was reported he was doing.
The Court ruled that he couldn't pardon those who didn't apply for it.

You or your staff are to review each case individually as the law states. Then you would know for certain if they were worthy rather than make a blank statement about which you couldn't possibly know anything.

He doesn't care. Get Hillary into the white house and she'll create an EO banning democrats from impeachment or corruption charges. And her newly appointed court jesters would approve it across the board.
