"Confiscation Act bump."

The Confiscation Act of July 17, 1862 is also entitled:

An Act to suppress Insurrection, to punish Treason and Rebellion, to seize and confiscate the Property of Rebels, and for other Purposes."

Sounds okay to me.

The Confiscation Act of July 17, 1862 is also entitled: An Act to suppress Insurrection, ...[snipping for brevity]."

Sounds okay to me.

Yeah, it would. Well, here's your Nixonian education.

We're going to run out another one just like it -- and then apply it to your State, and more specifically to your property because your politics is all wrong and we don't like you.

You'll lump it, of course, out of tender deference to what the omnipotent federal government is entitled to do out of iits illimitable raison d'etat, as is so clearly shown in the title of the original Act.
