Personally, I believe that in a democracy, courts shouldn’t have the power to disqualify individuals from running for office. That’s just my opinion, though, and I’m not familiar with the situation in France.
Separately, here in the U.S., I take issue with the fact that ex-felons are denied the right to vote. I believe we should push for a constitutional amendment that guarantees the right to vote for every U.S. citizen—regardless of their criminal record or other issues.
