I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

You can't be in both the executive and legislative branches at the same time.

Edit: I'm misremembering something else. You might be able to do both.

Vice President has constitutional powers that are executive as well as legislative. You can even be in the judicial branch and still work for the executive (See: Military Judges).

What you can’t do is lead any of those branches at the same time.

Yeah her origin story (lol) isn't that of a politician. She just wanted to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, her brainchild, but Obama couldn't appoint her due to politics. Meanwhile, Scott Brown was up in 2012 (he beat Coakley in Massachusetts), so the stars kind of aligned and Democrats convinced her to run/win. She barely dealt with the media at all during her senate years, she just didn't have the politician thing in her until very, very recently.

That's likely why she didn't run in 2016, when arguably she should have.

That seems like it's an impeachable offense. The Republicans have even been crowing about how no laws were broken and everything. I'm sure the Democrats will get right on that.

Thats not the craziest interpretation - a fine is part of the punishment for a crime after all. The implementation will likely be pretty bullshit however.

Because really, when you think about it, aren't they the real victims? We need to do something about all these liberal deep state enemies of the people. It's getting dangerous. If this keeps up long enough it might start to be a national security risk and then they'll be forced to take drastic measures.

I think the intent of it was that being a convicted criminal does not take away your right to vote. Really nothing should aside from being incapable mentally, or denouncing citizenship. They include people in prisons on the census.

quote:

No. 4 Constitutional Amendment Article VI, Section 4. Voting Restoration Amendment This amendment restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation. The amendment would not apply to those convicted of murder or sexual offenses, who would continue to be permanently barred from voting unless the Governor and Cabinet vote to restore their voting rights on a case by case basis.


"All terms of their sentence" is in what was voted on.

The implementation is BS no matter what because, demographically, prison is made up of people who are least likely to be able to pay the exorbitant penalties imposed along with legal defense. This is a poll tax because it will disproportionately affect a disadvantaged section of the population.

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy


Wouldn't this also set up a situation where you could potentially "buy" votes with a 'wink wink' payment of penalties?
