<i>Most on the right would not, IME, support the position that freedom cannot be restricted based on past conviction of a crime.</i><p>As someone on the right, one issue here is <i>who</i> is doing the  restricting of freedom.  One approach that strikes me as reasonable is requiring full disclosure, but the state then can&#x27;t interfere in the relationship between a business and potential employee, aside from obvious exceptions like crimes of pedophilia and care of children.<p>In between there can be issues where someone is put in a position of trust over other&#x27;s lives, like, say, a bus driver.  But this sort of meat ax approach ... no, I doubt it&#x27;s going to find a lot of support on the right.  Certainly not from myself.
