Bill of Attainder?
If congress passes a Law (Bill) to, by taxation, confiscate from AIG or its employees that money paid out in bonuses, wouldnt that amount to a Bill of Attainder, and/or Ex Post Facto Legislation? And thats in addition to nullifying a pre-existing contractual agreement between willing parties. It certainly seems all of these things would be in violation of the Constitution, but it wont be the first time for that.
All this has no higher purpose than to distract us from what else they (congress) and this Administration are doing, because they are fearful of a huge public outcry on April 15th. That is a day we all know well and no one need more prompting for a better date for a huge public outcry about whats been going on lately.

Constitution? What's that? I thought we went off that standard years ago.
Our Constitution is being shredded before our eyes. It makes me sick to my stomach.
