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.

Have there ever been any national republics that did not devolve into anarchy and discontent?
