you could argue that the logic of the judicial system obtains in fact--if you commit a crime you serve x amount of time as a sentence you have "paid you debt to society" and your basic rights are restored to you.
the right to vote is more basic that your right to conduct a professional service. the two are, in fact, unrelated to each other.
as for the earlier posts about the democrats and felons, they really are beneath contempt. were they more substantive, they might rise to the level of a low blow--but as they are wholly arbitrary, they do not even achieve that exalted status.
it seems the the discursive bottom can always be located by looking for where the right is feeding.
