Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants to let the Boston Marathon jihadist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/46295/bernie-sanders-let-terrorists-sex-predators-ryan-saavedra">vote</a> from his high-security prison while he awaits his already-overdue death sentence. Specifically, as The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ryan Saavedra <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/46295/bernie-sanders-let-terrorists-sex-predators-ryan-saavedra">reported</a>, Sanders said: &#8220;I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people, because once you start chipping away&#8230;you&#8217;re running down a slippery slope&#8230;I believe even if they are in jail, they&#8217;re paying the price to society, that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.&#8221;</p>
<p>But there is one major problem for the near-octogenarian Vermont loonbag: The franchise, in our system of governance, is not properly construed as a &#8220;right&#8221; that is &#8220;inherent to our democracy.&#8221; Rather, going back to the Founding generation and continuing through the Reconstruction Amendments well into the 20th century, the franchise in our constitutional order has long been generally understood as a privilege for which the states have something closely akin to plenary power to regulate &#8212; and, indeed, limit &#8212; as they see fit.</p>
