Columbia should be penalized, but not in this manner. This a bill of attainder.

How so? What specific crime does the bill accuse Columbia of breaking?

I don’t think Congressman Hunter can issue a bill of attainder. Your link says this:

>>>The United States Constitution forbids both the federal and state governments to enact bills of attainder, in Article 1, Sections 9 and 10,<<<
