Is being a citizen a matter of degree or is it binary (one is either a citizen or is not)? The criminal court process of trial by jury is the formal process (if found guilty) by which citizens are formally deprived of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Based on the crime they are sentenced. With all due respect to certain SCOTUS decisions, the citizen sentenced is without civil rights. They are wards of the prison system for the duration of their sentence. However, once that citizen has performed their sentence, what percentage of citizen are they? It varies from state to state. In the case with Florida, the #24thAmendment prohibits the the failure to pay a tax from stopping a citizen from voting and the SCOTUS #Obamacare ruling National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012) made fines and fees a tax. #CitizenRights, #24A, #PollTax, #FelonsVoting https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/05/25/judge-rules-against-florida-on-felons-paying-fines-to-vote/
