The ones that are in the permanent disqualification from voting under my proposal are unlikely to ever pay taxes again during their lives or at least during a major portion of their remaining life.
Of course. If they use roads and are protected by the police etc. IN fact, they have demonstrated a greater tendency to spend tax dollars on prisons than most.
On the other hand, if they have shown a tendency to believe certain crimes of moral turpitude or fine with them, I don’t particularly want them to have a say in passing our legislation.
Hadn’t thought about treason, espionage, etc. Those would be worthy of a permanent loss, but everything else I would say restore upon completion of sentence.
John Fries, the leader of Fries’ Rebellion, convicted of treason in 1800 along with two accomplices, and pardoned that same year by John Adams.
Governor Thomas Dorr 1844, convicted of treason against the state of Rhode Island; see Dorr Rebellion; released in 1845; civil rights restored in 1851; verdict annulled in 1854.
John Brown, convicted of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1859 and executed for attempting to organize armed resistance to slavery.
Aaron Dwight Stevens, took part in John Brown’s raid and was executed in 1860 for treason against Virginia.
Walter Allen was convicted of treason on September 16, 1922 for taking part in the 1921 Miner’s March with the coal companies and the US Army on Blair Mountain, West Virginia. He was sentenced to 10 years and fined. During his appeal to the Supreme Court he disappeared while out on bail. United Mineworkers of America leader William Blizzard was acquitted of the charge of treason by the jury on May 25, 1922.[12]
IMO, felons should not be allowed to vote, ever, even after they served their time. They gave up their rights when they did the crime. Misdemeanors, that’s a different story I think, but those who have committed crimes as serious as felonies shouldn’t have a say in elections. And they shouldn’t own a gun.
Lou’s name dob and ss number would be an alias on Mr. Dirtbags criminal history. There is no way Lou can petition to have it removed from Mr. Dirtbags Criminal history. The history would show the charge, name arrested under, and then court disposition.
With it like that, anytime Lou’s name is run for a criminal history, it hit’s on Mr. Dirtbag’s alias. If he used the SS number, even that becomes an alian for Mr. Dirtbag, and is linked forever to Lou.
More than likely, the probrlem isn’t Lous criminal history. His is probably clean (right Lou?? Lou?? hello?? just kidding). The problem is Mr. Dirtbags criminal history. And Lou can not petition to have something removed from mr. Dirtbags criminal history.
