| #6 Shait! Now I guess they will all come up here to Washington State where the dead, felons, and imaginary friends are allowed to vote (as long as they vote Democratic that is...). |

| #5 Hundreds of thousands? That many? Well then, we make double-sure they don't vote. Hundreds of thousands in a single state? Florida had about 7.5 million voters in 2004. No way I want hundreds of thousands of ex-felons voting, unless their names are and have been VERY clean for quite a while. |

| #3 They are felons for a reason, and the suspention of voting rights is punishment. I'm for reinstating them after 10 years if they keep their nose clean, but you f00ked up, you pay the price. And the price is prison and the forfiture of rights. |

| #2 "The court has not only missed an opportunity to right a great historic injustice, it has shut the courthouse door in the face of hundreds of thousands of disenfranchised citizens." Who, as felons, more than likely "disenfranchised" someone else by force. Sorry, no sympathy here. |

| #1 "This is a sad day for our democracy," said Catherine Weiss, associate counsel Its a great day for responsible citizenship upon which democracy is dependent. Don't do the crime. Nuff said. |
