With an extortion conviction under his belt he would be a much better fit in Congress.
Seems legit.
and didn't know when she voted for Judd that he was doing time in Texas.
That’s it … my head just exploded —
Judd 2016: It’s Time (Served)
The fact is that with their own assistance, West Virginia doesn’t matter…to Clinton, Sanders, the United States, or anyone else. Coal is dying, and if they don’t start thinking of the future, they will remain at the very bottom of everything.
{{{shudder}}}
I’m sure Hillary’s quaking in her sensible shoes. But hey, now Salon can write “Would An Ex-Con President Be A Better Choice? Just Asking” and the Anybody But Clinton pseudo-progressives can start migrating to him from Mrs. Sanders’ Husband.
Wait…he’s a felon. That means he can’t vote, but he can run for President??
Good question!
Governor “Phil” Bryant has released a brief statement.
I would like to reassure the citizens of “The Hospitality State” that there is no cause for alarm. We can not and we will not allow West Virginia to steal the the title of worst state from Mississippi.
Yes. Article II says:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
It says nothing about being eligible to vote. Thirty-five years of age, natural born Citizen and a US resident for 14 years is it.
It appears that Judd is actually eligible.
“I still would have gave him my vote,” said Kominar, a registered Democrat who now supports Trump. “He still would have gotten it. That wouldn’t have been a factor for me at all.”
I can’t think of a better example of those scary legions of “Democrats” who support Trump—somebody who would have knowingly voted for a felon in prison than a black guy with a degree from Harvard Law.
“registered Democrat” my ass.
So the people of West VA hated Obama so much they voted for a felon. Nice going dumbski’s
That’s just crazy. We can’t trust someone to vote, but can trust him to be President??
If that’s the case, then there’s really no justification to not let ex-felons vote.
Good for Governor McAuliffe.
It’s natural for people to vote their interest.
It’s not natural for people to demand that a product, whose increasing use will destroy the atmosphere, should be allowed to follow the capitalistic path of increasingly greater rates of use.
Coal cannot be a growth industry in a world dependent upon oxygen.
Only 3 states permanently revoke the voting rights of ex-felons. Most states restore voting privileges when the sentence is completed, a few restore some period of time after completion.
But in many of those that restore voting rights, it’s not automatic - each person has to apply and be personally approved by the governor. That’s how it is in Virginia, which is why McAuliffe’s action was such a big deal, and why he has to keep doing it every month. He just gets a list of everyone who is done with their sentence and signs off on it. The next Republican governor, of course, will stop doing that, and most likely stop restoring voting rights for everyone except worthy people like Bob McDonnell and his wife.
Yep. And it looks as though Obama Derangement Syndrome, like herpes, is forever.
No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
