I would posit anyone who thinks stripping Constitutionally guaranteed rights from someone for life.
(Either they should be fully free, or still imprisoned, or dead; the creation and maintenance of this secondary class of citizen cannot bring good fruit: for it is [born of] evil.)
You “posit” wrong.
I am a strong advocate of capital punishment but I am also a realist and realize that in reality we are not going to get that as long as women have the vote or the media exists as presently constituted.
It is doubtful that the felons stripped of certain rights as a price of their crimes would rather be either dead or in the joint. I’m sure the Second Best solution is preferred aren’t you?
