My understanding is that felon rights is a passion of yours

[BurtReynolds]

The funny thing is that these drones think that the rules will still apply when a candidate capable of winning the presidency is barred from running. We're in open war at that point.

Maybe that's the plan.

[BurtReynolds]

"B-But it's against the rules!"

Oh gotcha. Never said I was pro-democracy.

I think felons and criminals should be allowed to vote and run for office. Taking away the right to do either is a stupid punishment that can be easily abused.

I didn't ask your opinion. I asked if the people that are being rounded up will lose there vote. It's ironic.

They shout "we only want legal votes counted!" Then go out and commit a crime making any future votes on their part illegal.

[BurtReynolds]

They might.

If they pass a domestic terrorism law, then it will definitely happen in the future.

Right, but aren't these federal crimes? They crossed state lines to commit a crime in DC (not Maryland).

Side note: I don't support this policy, but find it ironic.

In one case my understanding was the kid brought a gun from one state to another where it wasn'tlegal for him to do that. I think that has now been proven false, so it's moot.

In this case, crossing state lines was part of the crime in that some of the rioters brought people with them who would otherwise not have been a part of the riot.

I'm fascinated to learn what relevant laws are implicated here.

I don’t pretend to know, ss, I just always thought it raised the stakes (penalty) if you committed a crime and then left the state where you did that crime.
