WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jul 20, 2020

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand and eighteen, Florida voters are proved a

0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>state constitutional amendment to restore convicted felons right to vote

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>once they complete their sentence. Now that wording is important.

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>The amendment allows felons to have their voting rights restored

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>once they complete the sentence. Liberals immediately try to pull

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a fast one. They claimed that even felons who had

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.639
<v Speaker 1>not satisfied the terms of their sentence were included in

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the new amendment. For example, if the felon had to

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>pay fines a restitution to the victims as part of

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>their sentence but didn't pay, Liberals argued that that didn't matter.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Why because it's racist to demand criminals pay fines a 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 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>law clearly stating felons had to complete their sentence in full,

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>including paying fines and restitution is required before their voting

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>privileges would be restored. The liberals suited them, and last Thursday,

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>they lost. The Supreme Court ruled that Florida can compel

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>felons to finish their sentence in full before voting privileges

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>are restored and the Liberals are outraged. As usual, they

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>were counting on the criminal vote to put them over

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the top in the November elections. Felons are one of

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the democrats most important voting blocks. Hillary desperately needed them

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to criminals know it, and now they're frozen out, at

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>least in Florida. Good riddence.
