“Anyone wanna take bets on how far this goes?”

It goes as far as the nearest judge can throw it. What constitutes bills of attainder is well established by cort precedent, and this ain’t it.

Wouldn't that depend on the judge?

Hey, no problem. The Supreme Court would certainly throw it out, just like when they ruled that the government can't confiscate private property for commercial use.

Oh, wait a minute...
