I really don't have a problem with this at all. We are talking about CONVICTED felons here.

I wonder what happens to the DNA samples of those "felons" who are later exonerated...

Gotta Read... This is a very bad development. I don't see this as any different than taking fingerprints from everyone arrested.

One concern about this (that may not pass legal muster) is that it essentially amounts to an ex post facto punishment for those who have already served their sentences. Granted, having one's DNA forcibly extracted isn't as bad as hearing: "you're going back to jail", but it falls into the same category.

It's interesting. What this really means is that there's nothing you own that the government can't take from you.
They can take your home. They can take your car. They can take your address. Then can take your fingerprints. And now, they can take your DNA.
In America, you don't even own your own DNA.

It's both a bill of attainder and an ex-post-facto imposition of a penalty for having committed a crime. Article I, section 10 of the Federal Constitution prohibits the States from making such laws. Therefore, it is merely an Unconstitutional act of the State legislature, and not a law.

The solution seems obvious: make it a felony to be elected to public office.

"This is a very bad development."
Yes,very bad for convicted felons. Next crime they dare not drop a hair or a bead of sweat.
Many of us have had our finger prints on file for decades and decades and it has created no problem at all for we who commit no crimes. I can't see how DNA samples of convicted felons on file, is anything to concern non-felons either.
