McAuliffe To Circumvent VA Supreme Court Ruling On Felon Voter Rights, Will Issue 200,000 Clemency Grants

Loading

Matt Vespa:

Leah wrote abut how the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s executive order that would allow convicted felons to vote was unconstitutional. The action promoted legal action from the Virginia Republican Party. The court ruled that McAuliffe had overreached the state’s longstanding law concerningdisenfranchisement of voting rights for criminals. Now, McAuliffe has decided to work around the court’s ruling by granting clemency to the 200,000 felons who were targeted in his original executive order (viaThink Progress):

Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is taking action to restore the voting rights of thousands of ex-offenders in the state after a court decision Friday put them in jeopardy. He’s getting around the Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling against him by signing 200,000 individual clemency grants to the state’s ex-offenders to ensure their right to vote in November.[…]

But just hours after the decision, McAuliffe vowed to push back by signing clemency grants for the state’s ex-offenders one by one.

Time for the virginia suprem court to bringing up Contempt of court against his little royal idiot and impeach this arrogant little imperial demacratic snot time to take a 25000 volt cattle prod this this stuborn old jackass

Wouldn’t clemency also restore their second amendment rights?

@variabletime:

Demofascists only want law-abiding citizens to be prohibited from owning firearms..

But seriously….does anyone else see the hysterical irony in dems wanting their natural demographic group – convicted felons – to have the right to vote (that was lost from being convicted for committing a felony) at the same time that Wassermann-Schultz “resigns” as head of the DNC when her leaked emails show how the DNC plotted to subvert Sanders in support of Hillary….obviously indicating her complete lack of integrity while holding said position…then being employed by the Hillary campaign!?!?!

Honestly, you could not ASK for Hillary to flip a larger middle finger to the concepts of honor, integrity, truth or honesty than that. She is so convinced that her blatant corruption is untouchable that she doesn’t care in the slightest how loathesomely she is perceived.

Anyone who votes for her is either just as corrupt, or gobsmackingly ignorant.

Like most all members of the Demac-RAT party this stuff shirt and aggogant pompious old peacock rejects the U.sa. Constitution thinks were living in a monarcy and he is a privlaged nobleman and he ca do what decrees what his royal snotness needs is a foot in the seat of his pants good and hard Kick hims over the moon. Starting to ruffle this old shorebirds feathers right now

The U.S. and Virginia state constitution means nothing to these liberal eletists who beleive their above the law and constitution time for a little application in the rear for these idiots like McAuliffe

Sounds like a good case for impeachment

@DrJohn: Yes it does

@variabletime: YES.
And it automatically takes any sex offenders off the sex offenders’ lists as well!

signing 200,000 individual clemency grants

That’s a lot of autographs.
I wonder if the gov has one (or more) of those auto-pens that sign for you?

THROW HIM TO THE LIONS,THROW HIM TO THE CROCIDILES ,FEED HIM TO THE JUB JUB BIRD he is a traitor like most all liberal demacrats

Nah, no one should worry about Democrats committing voter fraud. There’s nothing like that going on anywhere.

Of course they want to give criminals back their right to vote; criminals all think like Democrats. They think they have a right to what belongs to everyone else and they think when they should not be held responsible for their actions. Textbook Democrats.

At least Austrians take the issue of voter fraud seriously, as the Austrian courts through out the last election because of leftist voter fraud.

I still wait for a leftist to explain why it isn’t discriminatory to require a valid photo ID to buy alcohol, cash a check, or get on an airplane, but it is somehow racist to require the same ID to vote. I also wait for a leftist to explain why it wasn’t racist for Nelson Mandele to require valid photo ID for South Africans to vote there, but it is somehow racist to require valid ID to vote in the US.

Those of us based in reality know full well demofascists are only fighting for their ability to cheat in elections, because ethics, honor and integrity are anethema to leftist ideology. The only principle of leftism is “Do whatever it takes to gain power.”
