        A felon is someone who already did their time, & some had to plea guilty for a crime not committed. A felon probably knows more than a lawyer who went to an Ivy League and has never known any real struggles that sometimes drive people to commit crimes.

        If felons can practice law, they certainly should be able to vote and hold federal govt office.

        Of course. Some of the greatest legal minds have been felons. Judging by most, its also clear there isn't an ethics requirement.

        Well they do know the system from a unique perspective. If they can make the grades and pass the tests WHY NOT? Isn't that what rehab is all about?
