I'm disappointed. I thought that of all the people that I pinged that you would start some discussion! Sighhhhhhh. The whole concept of Bill of Attainder is upsetting because I don't really understand it. On one hand it sounds protective of the citizen and the rights guarented under the Constitution and then it also sounds sinister and overpowering. Is this something that we should be wary of and how it is used?

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I am connecting this with the Ninth and Tenth Amendments also the 16th?

If, from what I understand, we are granted certain inalienable rights and these rights are supposed to be protected by the government - no ifs, ands or buts allowed -then how can the Bill of Attaninder be used against the citizenery? That doesn't make sense.
