I can see that this question frightens you quite a bit, so I'm going to give you a free primer on how an answer might go for you.

Is depriving convicted felons the rights of free men unconstitutional?

kiryandil: “Yes”

So no punishment for any crime. That's insane and will destroy the country over night. There is no reasoning with that kind of naive stupidity. Goodnight.

kiryandil: “No”

So, you agree that a duly elected legislature, empowered by the people to make laws can restrict the rights of felons and determine the period of those restrictions, including life-terms?

kiryandil: “Yes”

Thanks for wasting everyone’s time this evening with your senseless hissy fit, only to admit that you don't have any logical argument.

I was here from the beginning. What scares me is the Police State mentality that has been adopted by a significant minority of FReepers like yourself.
