What is a Bill of Attainder?
Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 3 states, “No Bill Of Attainder or Ex-post Facto Law, shall be passed.” From the Bill of Attainder Project pages, authored by Tom Saunders: The government not only has over 300 laws which permit them to confiscate property, they are doing it with no regard for guaranteed Constitutional rights. America has legislatures who not only have no regard or knowledge of bills of attainder, they no longer make laws which respects their restriction on passing ex-post facto laws. Bills of attainder are more than one thing and harder to understand than ex-post facto laws. The fact that both states and the federal governments are passing these laws, and the courts are enforcing them, shows there is no regard in our government for the preservation of individual rights, or private property.
