WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jan 14, 2021

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand eighteen, Florida voters are proved a state

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>constitutional amendment to restore convicted felons right to vote once

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>they complete their sentence. Now that voting is important, the

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>amendment allows felons to have their voting rights restored once

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>they complete the sentence. Liberals immediately try to pull a

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.639
<v Speaker 1>fast one. They claimed that even felons who had not

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>satisfied the terms of their sentence were included in the

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>new amendment. For example, if the felon had to pay

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>fines a restitution to the victims as part of their

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>sentence but didn't pay, Liberals argued that that didn't matter.

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Why because it's racist to demand criminals pay fines or restitution.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>It keeps felons from voting because they are poor. So

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the Florida state legislature went to work. They passed a

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>law clearly stating felons had to complete their sentence in full,

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>including paying fines and restitution is required before their voting

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>privileges would be restored. The liberals suited them, and last Thursday,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>they lost. The Supreme Court ruled that Florida can compel

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>felons to finish their sentence in full. Before voting privileges

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>are restored and the Liberals are outraged. As usual, they

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>were counting on the criminal vote to put them over

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the top in the November elections. Felons are one of

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the democrats most important voting blocks. Hillary desperately needed them.

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>The criminals know it, and now they're frozen out, at

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>least in Florida. Good riddence.
