New York Gov. Cuomo grants 35,000 paroled felons right to vote; GOP sees 'power grab'

I’m unwilling to take no for an answer,” Cuomo said at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network in New York City. “I’m going to make it law by executive order.

Tyrant.

 

[Twogunwilly]

Desperate scumbag thinks they'll vote for him

 

[togmaster]

This asshole should have been put in jail years ago.

 

[Criticalt]

Desperate scumbag thinks they'll vote for him

The funny thing is, ill bet more people that voted for him before, will not this time because of this one move.
There are alot of democrats who have been victimized by criminals.

 

[Devildog9999]

I just don't even know how to accurately describe how disgusting this asshole really is. I am on a personal mission to get people out to the polls this year.

 

[MuttCat]

It just does not end. FUAC.

 

[GUNSICK]

When do they get their 2nd amendment rights back?

That is NOT how it works, you ignorant fuckwit. That is called a 'dictatorship', and is NOT the way America works!

Seriously, does anyone ever read or do any type of research? Or does the populace just find a headline and bitch/complain.

I hate this man, but what he is doing is basically the norm across the US. 22 States already have this in place. NY State used to allow it for decades. It was changed back in the early 70's.

And, not to mention, how many of these thug pieces of crap do you think are actually going to vote?

One more just for fun...

Who in the hell does the Government think they are taking away certain RIGHTS? They really do not have the power to to take our Rights!

Would everyone angry about this be as angry if he was signing an order to allow these men and women the Rights under the Second Amendment?

Anyone who can't be trusted with a gun can't be trusted with a vote.... ?
of course he hasn't also restored "gun rights

Yeah I read it. I even quoted the part that irritated me. It's his (and other politicians) use of executive orders to do an end run around the legislative process that pisses me off.

This began in NY State years ago by the same type of order. Again, the legislature does have the right to strip away rights or restore them!

My bitch isn't about restoration of the right to vote. My bitch is about him circumventing the legislative process by Executive diktat.

 

[cgrutt]

Exactly.

 

[Tinman]

He should leave Albany and take over Dicks. I mean he is the BIGGEST DICK in the world.

 

[GOPerfect]

My bitch isn't about restoration of the right to vote. My bitch is about him circumventing the legislative process by Executive diktat.

This is not a just a Legislation issue. This was originally done with an Executive order.

My god, it almost sounds like I am defending this Asshole!

 

[GOPerfect]

So, would you all be fine if the Legislators passed a law stripping these Rights?

 

[Bob]

So, would you all be fine if the Legislators passed a law stripping these Rights?

No. Just like I'm not OK with the legislators raping and pillaging the Second Amendment. If the wrong thing was done in an improper manner, doing the right thing in the same improper manner doesn't fix it - it is still wrong.

 

[Marine Cpl]

I'm all for restoring all rights after one has done the time. I say it all the time that felons should have their gun rights restored. But being on parole, one is still doing the time.

 

[oc shooter]

please God no another 4 years of this

 

[ProgSpear]

I am particularly impressed with his nuanced understanding of the Constitution.

"The directive cites the Fifteenth Amendment for justification."

Cuomo Circumvents Legislature to Restore Felon Voting Rights in NY

This is true but we all know this Ass hat isn’t doing it for that reason at all. He’s doing it because he’s scared! His new democrap contender has got him nervous. She has already picked up the endorsement of the working class family party who were staunchly little andy supporters. She is also constantly chewing him up and spitting him out on twitter with good results. Combined that with the small amount of votes that will be cast for Howie Hawkins who recently announced his run and he’s starting to sweat.

Recidivism is one of the most fundamental concepts in criminal justice. It refers to a person's relapse into criminal behavior, often after the person receives sanctions or undergoes intervention for a previous crime. Recidivism is measured by criminal acts that resulted in rearrest, reconviction or return to prison with or without a new sentence during a three-year period following the prisoner's release.
So, you would be ok with restoring the rights of convicted felons after their release given the statistics below?

National Statistics on Recidivism
Bureau of Justice Statistics studies have found high rates of recidivism among released prisoners. One study tracked 404,638 prisoners in 30 states after their release from prison in 2005.[1] The researchers found that:

• Within three years of release, about two-thirds (67.8 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested.
• Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested.
• Of those prisoners who were rearrested, more than half (56.7 percent) were arrested by the end of the first year.
• Property offenders were the most likely to be rearrested, with 82.1 percent of released property offenders arrested for a new crime compared with 76.9 percent of drug offenders, 73.6 percent of public order offenders and 71.3 percent of violent offenders.

Yes. Because if they aren't rehabilitated and are still a danger to society, they shouldn't be released. Only a person that shows that they can be rehabilitated should be released. That rehabilitation should be a lengthy probation as well.

 

[Kwalsh]

i think its more about how he goes about doing all these things is what really pisses people off, also nobody is even slightly talking about him wanting to give drivers licenses to illegals to raise revenue

 

[Robin]

Fuck them, they violated people, some of whom will probably never fully recover. There are paths already in place that will allow them to regain their rights. Fuck cumo too.

I might be a felon that hasn't been caught yet. So may many here.
