F. H. Buckley, LLM Biography
- Title:
- Foundation Professor at George Mason University’s Scalia School of Law
- Position:
- Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should Felons Who Have Completed Their Sentence (Incarceration, Probation, and Parole) Be Allowed to Vote?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The argument for giving felons voting rights when they have been released from prison is different. Released prisoners have paid their penalty, it’s said. Let them have a fresh start. But if someone is still in jail he hasn’t paid his penalty. He is still paying it.”
F.H. Buckley, “What Democrats Have Forgotten about Citizenship,” nypost.com, Apr. 24, 2019
