Cite a case that rulse that a Senate resolution can be a bill of attainder, and I will look into it. Otherwise, it is just a stupid resolution, and not a law. Using algebra is just sily.

There are numerous cases that cite the exact phrase that I have written and, in fact, I have personally seen opposing counsel use the very phrase.

Cite a case that rulse that a Senate resolution can be a bill of attainder, and I will look into it.

Jesus, that is an arrogant statement. Look into it it?

Well then:

Foretich, Doris vs. USA, decided December 16, 2003 US Courts of Appeal for the District of Columbia circuit striking down the Morgan law as unconstitutional as follows:

"We therefore find that Congress violated the constitutional prohibition against bills of attainder by singling out Dr. Foretich for legislative punishment."

Now are you still going to state that this established ruling and precedent is "silly, or are you going to play the word game that Reid himself is playing by arguing that this resolution is not the de facto equivalent because they did not get president Bush to sign it into law?"
