VA's High Court put a cork in that... saying not so fast SKippy on that blanket reinstating of voting rights to EX-Felons. No no... has to be reviewed case by case.

As for John Hinckley... should of been buzzard food years ago. But hey maybe Obama can invite him at the White House for dinner and drinks.

I'm just worried that the Witch might get to Hinckley and convince him to accept a contract from her to do one more job before retiring.

I don't know how Hinckley fits in on voting, but the fact that he was found not guilty seems like it would not make him an ex-felon. I wonder if he had been voting while at the hospital. Constitutionally, it doesn't say anywhere that you have to have all your marbles to vote in America.

Good pt - looks like it depends on the state.

I think the ironic thing is if he was found guilty of attempted murder he probably would have been released long ago. Most people do not serve 31 years in prison for attempted murder.

I believe in this case he would. An attempted assassination and shooting Brady in the head, should be in the eyes of any court enough to put him away for life.

Or to run for office, either.

Squeaky Fromme served 34 years for trying to assassinate Gerald Ford and she never even got off a shot.Of course she also attacked another inmate with a claw hammer and briefly escaped which also added to her sentence.

Sara Moore who tried to kill Ford a couple of weeks later,and got two shots off, slightly wounding a cab driver from a richochet, got 32 years before being paroled.

So given the severity of what happened,Hinckley got off comparatively lightly.

The last two presidential elections prove the truth of that conclusively.

When you are deemed mentally incapacitated, there is no timetable.
