BREAKING: Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez found guilty in federal corruption trial

Guessing you couldn't find that in the Constitution? It's because it's not in there, and states have variability on felons' eligibility to run for office (not federal elections). In the end, felons retain their right to seek elected positions. I don't agree with many protests that happen, but the outcome of individual rights can be offensive, and that's a beautiful thing.
So you think it is okay for felons to hold public office?

You don't do a good job of interpreting responses. Read the post. I don't agree with many things that occur as outcomes of our individual rights; those outcomes can be offensive, and it is a beautiful thing we have those freedoms.

Hunter Biden could run for president as a convicted felon, and that label wouldn't stop him from doing so.

I don't know why you just can't answer a simple question? What's up with the tap dance?
 
Was it a yes or a no?
Sigh ..

It's a "it depends" on the crimes convicted of (as I've shared multiple times).. just like I wouldn't hire a convicted felon to run my gun store with a history of violent, aggravated assault; Regardless, going back to your original point .. felons have every right to run for public office and you've gone the direction of emotion and anger over supporting individual rights and outcomes in a civilized manner that you may disagree with.

It's not the binary answer you are seeking, as it shouldn't be.

Okay, so if you fucked a whore, raped a woman and committed 34 counts of business fraud, it is still okay for you to be President of the United States?

I knew you'd go there, and I'll have to disagree. It's blatantly obvious that the angst against Trump has been politically motivated because Democrats are scared to death he'll win. Sorry .. no win for you, and yes, I support Trump 100% in the upcoming election (as he kicks Democrat ass) even if he is wearing an orange jumpsuit. Besides, he'll appeal the decisions.

Regardless .. you were wrong, and it's perfectly legitimate for a felon to run for public office even if it hurts your feelings. You'll be okay. :itsok:

Cheers!
