    Like the inability to vote… OK why down vote. I’m right they limit your speech to disagree by taking your voice. The easy way to do that is make you a criminal with a felony conviction it is thee fastest way.

      Sure you can argue it may fit the crime in this case but I get annoyed when we try to give all crimes the death penalty.

      That’s not a universal feature of felonies. According to Wikipedia, in the US it’s any crime punishable by more than a year in prison.
