Just when you think that the Dems have gotten as dumb as is humanly possible, Sens. Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulski and others --would mandate felon voting across the country, regardless of state law. Lex has noted, tongue-in-cheek, that criminals are a natural Democrat constituency. Like Dems, criminals have no regard for individual rights; they endorse restrictive gun laws so that they will be the only ones with guns; they could care less about private property; they loath jail and hard labor and believe anything that they might do out of the main is society’s fault and begs for a government program.
How can they keep a straight face when proposing this stuff? When you hear these things, you have to check the calendar to make sure it’s not April Fools Day or something. The 14th Amendment of our Constitution grants each of the several states the latitude as to whether or not felons will be granted the right to vote. Even “The Rule of Five” (aka The Supreme Court) thought that the rule was obvious and well-established enough that it declined to hear two felon-voting cases from New York and Washington state in November. Then there’s also that pesky 10th Amendment - you know, the one that dopes in Washington D.C. pretend doesn’t exist. Let’s put it up the screen:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Rather than just quickly killing this idiocy, Republicans ought to play this out for as long as possible. The House and Senate ought to hold long and detailed hearings on the subject. During those proceedings Republicans should read into the record thousands of criminal acts and post pictures of the people the Dems want to re-enfranchise.
