I hear you, but voting is also unconditional, if you are a citizen. If you can take away their right to vote for life, you are effectively removing a right to citizenship because they can’t exercise it.
Yes, I’m well aware of how my good intents would be abused by liberals, as they do in all things.
I would agree. The constitutional mandate is for the right to vote. I think about this: there is no right to a home,medical coverage, car, horse, etc. Life, liberty, firearms, and voting are protected. Granted felony crime is a serious anti social behavior that needs correction. Never to vote again seems excessive.
>>”I hear you, but voting is also unconditional”
Is it? Due process is unconditional. But people’s Constitutional rights are taken from them every day, when they’re sent to prison. People lose their right to keep and bear arms in prison. The key is due process. Randomly denying someone of his right to vote, speak, bear arms, etc. with no due process is one thing. Doing so as punishment for a crime is Constitutional as long as it’s not cruel and unusual.
