Dump a truckload of 350,000 pennies right on Carol McAlice Currie’s front lawn.

Personally i would get the cameras around me and burn the invoice.

The wisconsin senators who fled to illinois and minnesota and iowa to escape voting on bills they were not going to win weren’t fined.

Ex post facto penalties are illegal pretty much everywhere. This won’t hold up in the first court it reaches.

Republicans should send back a demand for a fine of $1,000,000 per Democrat member for attempted extortion.

These fines are a “bill of attainder” which is expressly forbidden under the Constitution. If there is no law proscribing punishment for an action before it occurs then it is unconstitutional to do so after the fact.

Here is the definition:

A bill of attainder (also known as an act of attainder or writ of attainder or bill of pains and penalties) is an act of a legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them, often without a trial.

And here is the section of the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 that state that: "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law will be passed."

DIMrats are such absolute nitwits. People who vote for them must be brain dead.

Carol McAlice Currie, a spokeswoman for Democratic Senate President Peter Courtney, said this week bills will be sent to each senator who missed work. “If they refuse to pay, they will be sent through the regular debt collection process,” she said.


Due process violation right there.

Sounds like this might constitute an unconstitutional ex post facto law.
