USA has a special pass here because USA has working constitution (most countries, not really).
You can pass amendment that every citizen is eligible for getting their BI, and power of random voter emotion will he checked.
- platz 9y agoThat not how 'power of random voter emotion' works, or "is checked". I'm not sure I'm following your argument here.
- usrusr 9y agoAnd yet the USA happily denies the vote to felons. If the constitution allows that, it will surely not prevent other rights from being conditionally revoked.
- Turing_Machine 9y ago"And yet the USA happily denies the vote to felons." Some states do. The USA as a whole does not. The Fourteenth Amendment allows states to remove voting rights for criminals, but does not require it. In fact, more states allow felons to vote than do not. The reason this is "allowed" is because the amendment specifically and explicitly permits that. I don't think that generalizes to other cases.
- jtuente 9y agoKind of like how the 2nd Amendment works... Just fill out these forms in quadruplicate and pay the $200-500 stamp tax to exempt yourself from the 10,000 pages of regulations on "firearms". Just replace "firearms" with "unpopular opinions". edit: The stamp tax is per firearm, so to be fair, this would apply to each unpopular opinion as well.
