You have got to be kidding? We haven’t had a 90% tax bracket since Truman’s day.

Unconstitutional. Just like the empty suit. Illegitimate.

The challenges that this law is both an ex post facto law and a bill of attainder should be interesting.

There should be so many legal challenges to this law. You can design a law to specifical punish certain people, especially something after the fact.

An amendment also passed, stating the ‘sense of the house’ that the entire mess is NOT the fault of the magnificent TOTUS.

A bill of attainder (also known as an act or writ of attainder) is an act of legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them without benefit of a trial. Bills of attainder are forbidden by Article I, section 9, clause 3 of the United States Constitution.

If they can do this to these people is there anyone they cannot do it to.?

I dont know the Constitution well enough to say this is unConstitutional, but it damned sure aint right.

I dont go along with paying these people this kind of bonus , but one wrong doesnt excuse doing another.

These people are passing bills like there is no tomorrow. What is the rush, cant they step back a second and look some of this crap over? They are running wild. passing things that havent been read, passing bills that arent right. I am not a historian, but I am 65 years old and have never seen anything like this mess in my lifetime.

1. Will Republicans in the Senate fillibuster this bill, preventing it from passing?

2. Will any Senate Dims EVER read the Constitution, and also support this fillibuster, preventing the bill from passing?

3. Will ZERO veto this bill, if it gets to his desk?

So after the Dems put those bonuses in the stimulus bill they turn around and take them out? That will teach those wall street types to trust them!
