On August 23, a state court in Alabama ruled that the state’s laws preventing felons and ex-felons from registering to vote cannot be enforced, until the state legislature passes a law explaining the term “moral turpitude”. The State Constitution does not permit those convicted of a crime of “moral turpitude” to register. The Court ruled that the phrase is far too vague, and violates due process, unless or until the legislature passes a law defining which felonies are included in that term. Gooden v Worley, 2005-5778, Jefferson Co. Circuit Court.
It is amazing that the dictionary has had this definition for many years , but our infinitely wise judges can’t seem to figure out the definition.How much more clear can you get than complete disreguard for moral standards during the commision of a crime. Judges are getting stupid by the day.Just like our young people that think they are the smartest generation, judges grow farther from the wisdom of our forefathers everyday.
