Of course, the real reasons he wants to see felons voting NOW are that (1) the majority of them would likely vote for the 'Rats and (2) the 'Rats are desperate for votes - legal or illegal - in November's midterm elections, where they see themselves in deep trouble.
Yeah, they’re doing all they can to make sure they get to stay in power without having to cheat so much. They have to pay a lot of people. This way it’s so much easier.
They’ll use the felons, the gays, the baby killers, the lesbians, the food stamp-ers, the welfare-ers, the illegals, the head in the clouds dumbasses...UNTIL they no longer need them. Then those people wil be in the same catagory as the rest of us.
Whoops, and thanks justiceseeker93.
I don't care about that — there's a justice-principle here that is being violated (and a legal one, in some cases1).
You see, to serve one's sentence is to have paid for the crime, to forever strip a person of the ability to defend himself as other citizens do would alone make him a 2nd-class citizen… and this is further underscored by stripping them of the ability to vote or serve on juries.
In the matter of Holder's pushing it [or any other person's (save God's) endorsement/condmnation] is irrelevant to its morality. — this is to say that, like truth, justice is not dependent on the whims of the majority (or opinion of the minority).
This issue of whether felons should be allowed to vote has always been a matter of state law. Does Holder now advocate that there be a federal statute which mandates that all states allow felons (presumably only those who are not currently imprisoned) to vote? If so, it would seem to be yet another attack on the Tenth Amendment.
Not so — the GCA is a federal law which imposes the restrictions to keep and bear arms upon ex-felons.
1 In particular, the stripping of the right to keep and bear arms from the [ex-]felon is an ex post facto law because it imposed its strictures on those who had already served their sentence (or were then serving it) — the Constitution prohibits ex post facto law both to the federal government and to the states… moreover, the GCA prohibited persons
include those who have not yet been convicted of a crime.
Yes, I think we get the picture with the Holder/Obama motivation for aggressively affecting the vote, even to facilitate anarchy when and wherever thought necessary.
Ref. #51 has it right, in spades. We are in a fundamentally changed America today. A gangland attack is in progress, politically, turning the Constitution on its head. Sadly, old rules and expectations are winning nothing, in these times.
============================================
Now 2014 looms and Demons are in big trouble----they want (and desperately need) felon votes b/c: (1) the majority would likely vote for Demo'Rats, (2) vote-crazed 'Rats need new voting blocs - legal or illegal.
===================================================
It is rather interesting that some slavishly liberal Dems are holding back support----seems the jerkoffs learned a hard lesson from the O/Care debacle (snix).
When the Demons uniformly marched together for O/Care, Americans had not seen such lock-stepping party loyalty, and obeisance to their party's leader, since 1930-40s era Europe.
Let them vote while in prison. That way there can be whole congressional districts created behind bars, and they can send representatives to Washington, rather than the other way around.
