I love that. Hope it stands. It should.
Yes! My governor is awesome!!!!
Libs like to say that the felons have paid their debt to society. No they haven’t if they haven’t paid fines and court costs.
There will probably be a movement for using Reparations to pay off outstanding fines, restitution, and costs in all prior criminal and civil cases.
Sounds like a Federal subsidy to local government!
Yes, why not make felons pay? Its costs a fortune to pursue,prosecute and incarcerate them.
If someone calls it a poll tax we should get the SCOTUS to revisit and refuse Obamacare as their ruling based on an old wheeze about an enforced healthcare coverage being a fee or a tax is outdated.
Leave it to liberals to turn virtually anything into an auction house for votes.
I can hear it now: POLL TAX!!!
Sounds more than fair.
Voting is not nor ever has been a right, voting rights can be lost, along with other rights.
At university we had some discussion along these lines in a class. I pointed out that the right to a owning a firearm can be removed for cause, and voting is arguably equally if not more dangerous to society than firearms. The class instructor did not particularly like this line of reasoning, but everyone knew I was correct.
“Liberalism” is a strange, toxic brew, among others and in no particular order: envy, vindictiveness, self-loathing and above all removing any deterrence, responsibility or consquences to poor or self-destructive behavior. The truth is some people shouldn’t be able to vote, felon or not. Universal Suffrage has been a disaster by any rational weighing.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul can always be counted on to have the enthusiastic support of Paul. That’s why Democracy ever and always devolves into anarchy and discontent. Mobocracy. That’s why the founders guaranteed a republican form of government.
Should people in Prison also get to vote on whether to retain the Judges on the bench? Are there any limits to this stuff? With insane leftists running things we’ll find out.
This is entirely reasonable.
Why would conservative DeSantis want felons to vote. He sounds like a democrat.
