I think barring ex-felons from voting is bullshit to begin with. If you did your time, then you did your time. And these are folks who would bring an insight to the criminal justice system that is lacking in our electorate.

I’m not sure how it’s even constitutional to be able to permanently disenfranchise someone like that.

The more I’ve considered the issue over the year the less I feel like there is even justification for stripping someone’s right to vote while they are still in prison, even.

There isn’t any explicit, underlying right to vote in the Constitution. There are amendments which prevent denying the vote on the basis of certain things (race, gender, age, and failure / inability to pay taxes) but pretty much anything else seems to be fair game. And it’s worth noting that all those amendments are post-Civil War amendments, which means that the right doesn’t believe in them anyway.

15005

Considering their base and their leadership, you’d think Republicans would be all in on allowing felons to vote.

15006

They generally are. As long as they think they’ll vote the right way.

It’s an explicitly racial Jim Crow relic which wasn’t addressed in the Civil Rights Act.

Couple of jerkwads in The Villages voted twice and got slapped on the wrists. They knowingly committed fraud and the state does nothing. They may give jail time to these people who mistakenly voted with no intention of committing fraud.

Not sure if these ‘thousand words’ regarding the GOP and Inflation has been posted yet:

And Durham apparently strikes out in court.

15012

Man, these idiots:

Durham lost the case on purpose! It’s all part of the RICO plan!

15013

That’s what’s known as the “Rocky III Strategy.” Let your opponent tire himself out punching you, then you have him right where you want him!

15014

More along the lines of this (follow the money - ALWAYS follow the money
)

Durham and his team did quite well off of the taxpayers in this GOP bit of partisan cr*p

Why does this guy get to exist under Garland?

15018

That is a good question to which there is a long technical answer, but in reality, it’s b/c Garland is a severe disappointment. Even if Garland eventually indicts Trump (I’m not holding my breath) his passivity and tolerance of partisan corruption by Trump/Barr legacies has already weakened the DOJ in a substantial way. He may still do some good but as of now, he’s been an extremely ineffective AG in regard to the most important issues. I’m saddened; I expected better.
