If you are a felon, you lost that right. If you are dumb enough to commit a felony, you are too dumb to vote.

They lost their freedoms until their time is served.

Inmates are supposed to lose most all of their rights.

NO! They gave up that right when they committed a felony!

They gave up their right to vote

They gave up the right when they were convicted of criminal acts and were imprisioned.

I feel they lost their voting privilege when they became incarcerated.

Personally they should have let the law stand the way it was. Stop pampering criminals!

There are people on Oregon's death row that should be executed. Why you ask? Because the voters mandated those be punished for their crimes. Why should one person be allowed to dictate law?

I don't like the new rule, so I really don't want it to be retroactive too.

Nope! Start with a clean-forward slate. And, by all means reinitiate capital punishment for all heinous crimes! Send a message to all who may try but won't considering the dire consequences!

It shouldn't be applied to any cases. We the people voted to have the death penalty in Oregon and voted against eliminating it. Kate Hitler had no right to change things.

That was the punishment when they committed the crime, that is the punishment they should receive. If punishments were stricter, criminals might think twice before committing the crime

There should be no restrictions. Most trials happen with in 6 months of the arrest. After convictions they get 12 months for appeals and then thats it. Chair, gas or shots
