        This society punishes people, not crimes. Hence different sentencing for those privileged.

        I caught a felony in my early 20s. I am 48 now. I should be able to vote as I have never been re-arrested.

        I agree. And what you did is irrelevant. Once you satisfy your debt you right should be restored automatically.

        What happened with Rick Scott? Is he a convicted felon, considering he was CEO at HCA when it had its scandal.
