Totally Agree. While their official legislative “justification” for the committee is legislation for “Capitol Security”, they have never focused on that and the vast majority of their witch hunt questioning was and is ultra vires. It has, in reality, been transformed by the leftists into an “Attainder” committee, with the constructive purpose of legislating a CONSTITUTIONALLY PROHIBITED BILL OF ATTAINDER.
I've been saying that for over a year!
A few FR legal eagles say it's not because the action - a "criminal referral" is not punishment, but that's not really true.
Bills of Attainder were developed as a way to cause power to to ooze from the Crown to the Parliament - but the King still had to sign the death warrant.
The prohibition against Bills of Attainder in Article I ยง9 was coupled with the prohibition of ex post facto laws, and was certainly intended to prevent exactly what we are seeing today.
