US Midterm Election 2018 Megathread- It's Kavanaugh

[Thuzbekistan]

I wouldn't be surprised if Feinstein's seat becomes a hotly contested Dem v. Dem contest. She could win, but I doubt it'd be by the 20+ point margin she has now.

Also, imo, felons convicted of violent crimes should not be allowed to run for public office, especially if they are still behind bars.

Once criminals have served their time and are finished with parole, they should have the right to vote and run for office.

Maybe, but this guy is serving life in prison for double murder, there is no way he would or should be allowed to run or vote.

I don't see any problem with him running for office or voting.

To whom are you referring?

Bearing arms is violent. Voting is not.

[Galloism]

And bear arms as well.

Bearing arms is violent. Voting is not.

Bearing arms isn't per se violent.

[The South Falls]

Bearing arms is violent. Voting is not.

Bearing arms isn't per se violent.

For convicted felons, and one of the highest recidivism rates, even after parole, it could be.

But guns make you commit crimes Gallo...

A right is a right. Supporting one and not the other is hypocrisy.

I had a client once who couldn't get a gun because he had a felony a couple decades prior.

It was an EPA violation.

People either forget, don't know or ignore the fact that not all felonies are violent.

Violent felons. Drug possession shouldn't warrant a removal of second amendment rights. And corruption.

If they are not safe enough to exercise all their rights, they are not safe enough to release. If they have served their time, then further punishment is wrong.

Basically this.

This lovely fellow in Minnesota: http://www.startribune.com/double-murderer-in-prison-has-spot-on-minnesota-ballot-vying-for-klobuchar-s-senate-seat/488038241/

He's running in the Democratic Senate Primary for Klobuchar's seat despite serving a life sentence for double murder.

That's insane. How could anyone vote for him?

Because he has their preferred letter next to his name.

Why is he even permitted to run? You cannot vote if you're a felon but you can run for Congress just like Blankenship and that guy.

He's a murderer and a serving a life sentence. I dont think he'd even be eligible to serve if the snowball's chance in hell he got elected.

Probably not. That he'll get any amount of votes over 0 is quite beyond my comprehension...but it'll probably happen.

I don't think voters would prefer a murderer over Klobuchar in this primary.
