In your lovely state theft of items of a value of $250 or more is a felony. That should carry a life sentence?

No,not life in *prison* (for a first offense) and not a $500K fine.But I am a *huge* supporter of "three strikes" laws.And my position on felons voting remains unchanged.

I don't know about you but I'm old enough to have had a draft card,I'm old enough to collect Social Security (the regular kind).And yet in all those years I've never even been charged with littering,let alone anything more serious.If I can do it it can't be that difficult.

You just contradicted yourself.

In modern day “justice”, people can murder and be out in ten years.

Also many criminals have very long records with crime after crime after crime.

Why the hell should those subhumans vote?

If someone commits a non violent felony (ONE) and does not re-offend for a specific number of years, I might agree.

But it is a states’ issue, NOT fed.

You haven’t been charged yet.

It doesn’t follow that you won’t be charged or can’t be charged.

The average American commits three felonies a day.
