I had no idea that Kentucky and Virginia require applications for restoration of civil rights. I agree with you about it being a big "step back."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-22846309996065255322011-03-09T15:51:10.069-05:002011-03-09T15:51:10.069-05:00Up to last year my wife worked directly for convic...Up to last year my wife worked directly for convicted Floridians' rights. We moved back to the Northeast, and our fears were confirmed: Florida one the most back-water states in our nation. Living there is a great opp. to swim upriver against the trends of freedom, open-mindedness, mercy and common sense.

The problem with lawyers who have never represented a person such as Bondi is that they lose perspective and develop an "us against them" mentality and since convicted felons are "them" it is easy for her to continue kicking them even after they have gotten back up. It is a sad state of affairs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-49439062391992108932011-03-08T23:37:50.055-05:002011-03-08T23:37:50.055-05:00Great postGreat postjoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03058843065249382338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-15240831676518815062011-03-08T19:56:47.285-05:002011-03-08T19:56:47.285-05:00@Fred.

You have to remember, this is the United States, where we believe everyone else in the world should have those rights, but we will find a way to restrict our own citizens from having them. Florida is especially bad when it comes to such thinking. This action will only go further to prove that.Paladin51https://www.blogger.com/profile/08222113081973333613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-1147785792946813132011-03-08T10:12:01.731-05:002011-03-08T10:12:01.731-05:00????

The only civil right they lose in Canada is the actual physical liberty... (obviously) but for the rest, it is unthinkable to take those rights away. I must admit it is a terrible step back to repeal this previous law...Fred Carlehttp://www.twitter.com/fredcarlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-64545159524273973422011-03-08T09:40:03.877-05:002011-03-08T09:40:03.877-05:00Praying on less experience here, I thought the pri...Praying on less experience here, I thought the principle of "civil rights" was somehow linked to the natural rights of man and freedom. I didn't know that natural rights had to be "earned" and that they were "not an entitlement."<br /><br />So then, how exactly has she "earned" her civil rights?Susiehttp://pinstripe.menoreply@blogger.com
