For this reason, the inability of felons to vote always rubbed me the wrong way.
What purpose does it serve? It certainly is not a deterrent. I can only imagine to send the unambiguous message that they are second class citizens.
It also seems to be a partisan issue, although it is unclear if it is just a case of conservatives being more punitive, or if the most affected demographics tend to vote democrat.
I honestly donāt know. I believe after you have served your term you have served your term. But it is an example of ābargainsā the US has made with itself regarding the Constitution.

The āterror watch listā is a secret roster of something like 1,000,000 people that, for unknown reasons, have gained the attention of law enforcement. Given their track record to date, it would be naive to suppose that there arenāt plenty of activists, journalists, dissidents and racially-profiled brown people on that list.

#Have a Very Merry MRA Christmas!
Iād like two tickets to that Gunn show!
Well, there is a white guy right next to him, but more to the point, being swarthy and brown is the sort of thing that gets you onto terror watch lists. Bolling isnāt feeding the prejudice, heās acknowledging it.
Speaking of which, the middle panel matches my mental picture of a good percentage of regular commenters hereā¦
