The Prosecution of Nancy Pelosi
By Jeffrey Lord on 9.14.10 @ 6:08AM
It's time.
Past time.
Should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be prosecuted on a Bill of Attainder? Should the House of Representatives consider legislation that begins by saying it is:
"A Bill of Attainder to deprive Nancy Pelosi and other persons of liberty and property without further process of law for having violated the following ex-post facto law barring the setting of mandates on American citizens requiring them to buy health insurance. This case shall be exempt from all judicial review as previously provided by Article 3, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States."
Say what?
You mean such a thing is flatly forbidden by the Constitution? That Bills of Attainder and prosecution of citizens for ex post facto laws (statutes criminalizing an action retroactively) are prohibited by the Constitution? Really?
Well, as Speaker Pelosi said in response to a question that challenged the constitutional authority of Congress to mandate Americans to buy health insurance:
"Are you kidding? Are you kidding?"
As they say in astronaut lingo: Houston, we have a problem.
And that problem, plainly put, is the willingness of our friends on the left to simply ignore the founding document of this country: the Constitution of the United States.
So, what to do with this noodge of a difficulty? A problem that has actually been gaining speed and force for decades, only most recently illustrated by Speaker Pelosi's "are you kidding" disdain in response to a question about constitutional authority to mandate health care.

"And as the 2012 session draws to a close? The bill to prosecute Nancy Pelosi should be brought to a vote. And passed -- in the subcommittee. And passed again in the full Judiciary Committee."
I’ll watch
Thank you for pulling that post... just THANK YOU.
Don’t like this. A bill of attainder is unconstitutional. I’d prefer having some enterprising people smuggling her into Mecca, doped and ‘uncovered’, wearing a sandwich board saying ‘Death to Allah’ in Arabic while she wanders the streets in a daze.
Ditto on the thanks.
Our Mod. Squad is on the job.
What ever works. :^)
Pelosi should be questioned why did she sign one letter for Hawaii that stated Obame was qualified to be President and why she signed another letter for the other 49 states that makes no statement as to whether he’s qualified or not to be President. What’s with that? Was it so, if the other states called up his “birth state” and asked if he was qualified, Hawaii could answer yes?
The point of this article is not to punish Pelosi - though that would happen in the proposed scenario. The point is to teach about how the Constitution protects us such that nothing like what has happened with Health Care is tried in the future.
THEN we can drop Pelosi off in Mecca with an “I Hate Mohammed” t-shirt on.
After such Bill of Attainder is passed, it should be raffled off to the highest bidder to help defray the nat’l debt. And tickets should be sold to watch.
That would be great if something similar were to happen to George Soros.
“Should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be prosecute?’
Yes.
Or you could just throw a bucket of water on her and she would melt.
