Should Cops & Teachers Be Able to Vote?

Should Cops & Teachers Be Able to Vote?

Wheel turner and card-carrying conservative Pat Sajak asks that question in his debut column in the National Review Online. Should public employees like fireman and cops and teachers be allowed to vote?

Is disenfranchisement of public employees an idea whose time has come?

If you didn’t know what a player Sajak is on the right, he’s actually a board member of the Claremont Institute, the right-wing think tank where Christine O’Donnell did a one week fellowship she later reported as attending the unaffiliated Claremont Graduate University.
