Ah, to be cited in a dissenting opinion! (For those of you having difficulty finding footnotes 4 & 7, they are in Judge Moore’s dissent, which cites Allison several times and includes her quote from Ophelia’s lament.)

Footnote 4 is not to be missed.  Nor Footnote 7, which, if I recall, includes a lovely literary citation suggested by Professor Lowenstein.

The Sixth Circuit has just released an opinion upholding Tennessee's felon voter re-enfranchisement statute (which requires payment of child support and restitution before rights are restored) against a challenge based on the Equal Protection Clause, 24th Amendment, Ex Post Facto Clause, and privileges or Immunities Clause.
