According to this story, South Carolina State Senator Shane Massey (R-Edgefield) plans to introduce a bill, preventing anyone who was ever convicted of a felony (or, perhaps, just certain felonies) from running for office. The U.S. Constitution sets forth the requirements for anyone to run for, or to hold, federal elected office. Generally state Constitutions also set forth the requirements for people to hold state elected office. Therefore, it is likely this proposed bill could only affect candidates for county and municipal office.
Obviously sue the morons for $$$ damages regarding any federal or state constitutional office having specified constitutional qualifications.
The party hack is too evil stupid as to specify the offices involved ???
Some ex post facto violation stuff ???
