I agree. It is in the Constitution. They should also be able to carry.
So this judge wants to make sure that incompetent and stupid criminals can vote.
“Now we have over 700K new voters who majority will vote for Biden”
Hardly. By the time the appeals process is completed the election will long be over.
Clinton ‘RAT Judge, of course.
Ex-felons. Did they have their convictions overturned? /s
Our Republican representation is useless. Where are they on this ? If they do not immediately viciously attack and override this judicial overreach then they are not on our side.
“A Florida law requiring felons to pay legal fees as part of their sentences before regaining the vote is unconstitutional for those unable to pay”
No surprise that a Clinton judge is ignorant of the Constitution, quoting the 14th amendment:
“states may abridge the right to vote of citizens for participation in rebellion, or other crime.”
Expect the Republican controlled 11th circuit to reverse this ruling before the election.
Fines aren’t part of a sentence?
Strange.
There were enough conservative IDIOTS to push it through...so now we lose the country, but at least those idiots feel good about it
I’m amazed at all the people here who have faith in our legal system. “File a lawsuit. File a lawsuit...”
We are going to lose in November even with the best effort of Trump and MAGA mania. The GOP is giving it away as fast as the left steals it away.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
I didn’t see any references to constitutional clauses in the referenced article to fully justify what the judge decided. But here are clauses that seem to indicate constitutional problems with what the judge allegedly said.
Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A) respects the 10th Amendment power of each state to deny the right to vote simply for being a felon imo, regardless of delinquent legal fees.
”14th Amendment, Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime [emphases added], the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."
Note that voting rights amendments ratified after 14A was ratified effectively changed the voting eligibility criteria of Section 2 imo.
Next, consider that the only constitutionally express voting protection regarding money owed to whomever is limited to poll taxes or other taxes.
"24th Amendment:Section 1 of 2 sections. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax."
Corrections, insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
“I swear the RNC is so passive that it’s almost like they are the Democrats.”
Is a Romney still in charge of anything at the RNC? I know that Ronda Romney has screwed up everything that liberal puke has ever been in charge of. She royalty screwed up the MI republican party. It’s but a shell of what it once was.
