Quoted:
That he has restored voting rights to 13000 felons. I find it hard to believe that it's not illegal for him to do that. I find it hard to believe all the illegal things government officials do every day and get away with, yet us regular lowly civies do anything wrong and its instant slammer time |

Apparently he signed individual Executive Orders for each felon.
*Willing to bet he used an autopen.* |

So he's told the GA and the VASC they can get fucked and he'll do what he wants, huh?
And he isn't being impeached, why? |

Did he specifically only give them voting rights or did he waive the felony charges or what?

Why don't the Republicans draft a bill to restore gun rights to all who received a letter from McAwful?

Quoted:

Once they have voting rights back they can then apply for gun rights. The evidence of restored voting rights has been noted by the courts. Some of the previous overturned folks had already had gun rights restored and may now own guns. With the voting rights ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court removing their voting rights no one knows if the restored gun rights are valid or not. |

There is a death penalty case (State Trooper shot dead) in Dinwiddie County where the defense has argued that the Jury must include the newly enfranchised in order to truly be a "jury of peers."

Gents,
You have to look at this in the whole context of what is going on around the country. Before today, I was under the impression that around the US, if you were a felon, you could not vote. After some brief research, I surprisingly found that this is not the case; not by a long shot. Pretty much every state allows felons to vote after they either have served a complete sentence, or, are simply out of prison (parole, commuted sentence, etc). Shockingly, Maine allows persons still IN prison to vote (via absentee ballot). Texas, Georgia, Alabama (states that one would consider 'Hard Core' on crime) all allow former felons to vote. Kentucky has the most difficult circumstance to regain suffrage: They require an individual petition to the Governor to regain their voting rights. So, (In my opinion), Virginia is just the "Johnny come lately" in the case of restoring voting rights for felons. I could not care either way. |

A lot of states ban things, like magazines that hold over 10 rounds, too. |

The issue is the executive bypassing the elected legislature on the type of issue that should be debated and made law-or not made law by the legislature. |

Governor Dipstick was on the radio yesterday saying that "Its not like I'm restoring their gun rights...."
If they are reformed enough to have the right to vote, the right to hold elected office, to be licensed by the Commonwealth, etc., why not restore their gun rights, too? |

Everyone suggesting impeachment ought to work a little harder next time there is a State Senate election. Right now there are not enough votes to do so. |
