why are you uncritically supportive of this? is it the right amount? is it not maybe a grab of $$ by a minuscule unaccountable police force that wouldn’t be better handled by marshals? is that money needed for other purposes?

Perfectly clear. Constance’s family moved to Chicago in 1912, then at some point her family returned to Constance’s hometown, where she was born in 1912, and then moved back to Chicago (with Constance) when Constance was five. Constance was not the instigator of any of this.

yeah surface thrust seems as if Confessore & NYT brass is exposing something unknown — but of course Claremont has been known for years to have these views & to use such tactics (it’s only specific email language that’s “new”) & little details show NC is himself ready to keep playing bullshit

if 5%, or 25%, or 45%, or 75% of the populace is locked up, then regardless every single prisoner needs to be able to vote; the percentage of the population locked up is a political decision about what counts as crime and does not change the rights of citizenship.

voting rights should never be reduced because of incarceration. prisoners are citizens. any system of removing the right to vote, outside of stripping citizenship or expelling a person permanently from a country, is fraudulent and wrong. we are the county that we are, prisoners and all.
