This decision goes in the "bat**** crazy nonsense" column. That is not a bill of attainder and it's not close. It's a bill of "leftist/democrat darling planned parenthood doesn't like it."
Don't do this. If the feds give PP a single dime, there is federal funding of abortion, no matter how PP chooses to lie about it.GeorgiAg said:
The Pro Life crowd acts like it's a states' right issue, then pulls this crap. Pro Life my ass. Let's force a bunch of clinics to close so women die of cervical cancer so we can force women to have babies even in states voters have decided abortion is legal. Pro Life until birth. And let's cause an STD explosion while we're at it.
They don't have the votes to outlaw abortion nationwide (or want to suffer the political fallout from doing it or from trying) so they pull this evil crap. States' Rights my ass. There is no federal funding of abortion.
Gee, I wish there were hospitals that treated these problems.Quote:
I think this is a terrible part of the bill. The vast majority of services PP provides (I know the name PP has been demonized and = abortion to many of you, but that is not all they do) is NOT abortion so shutting down all those clinics is going to result in cervical cancers and STDs going undetected/untreated.
Making crap up, give us the data, and why do other people always want to spend other peoples money? STD? Thats easy to avoid....dont need PP tax moneyGeorgiAg said:

Money is fungible. PP is an evil taint on humanity. They can either exist on money they make through profit, or donations, or not exist.

quit while you're this far behind. And please tell me you're not actually a lawyer because you would have failed 1L con law with this nonsense. You haven't read the actual statue and you obviously don't know what a bill of attainder actually is.GeorgiAg said:
I'm going to go on record and say it gets upheld. Pretty clear bill of attainder and strong equal protection argument.

This^. For GaAg, so how is it unconstitutional for congress to decide to remove funding via legislation for a group that was funded via legislation passed by congress?

Congress can decide not to fund things for any reason they choose, including "legislative punishment". There is no "right to government funding" enshrined in the constitution.Captain Pablo said:Yeah. It's irrelevant gibberish and feelsGet Off My Lawn said:Holy crap!GeorgiAg said:

The issue is if this is a bill of attainer, and the case Georgi boy drops his mike on involved congress withholding paychecks from actual federal employees who were performing services. In other words, the federal employees weren't fired, they were showing up for work, doing their job, congress just voted not to pay them. Kind of like when Lumberg just quit paying Milton. The employees worked, were owed money, congress just stiffed them as punishment for "subversive activities"
In the PP case, PP is not a federal employee or entity, but they do receive reimbursement from the government for work performed, AS APPROPRIATED by congress. Congress decided not to reimburse future claims, and told them ahead of time. Planned Parenthood has no "right" to federal funding as far as I'm aware of. Yeah they'll argue whether the Act is legislative "punishment', but I think the issue will also be whether PP has any right to the funding in the first place, and whether Congress has any obligation to fund PP, or not, at Congress's discretion, regardless of motivation
I can see this as one of those bad decisions that the SCOTUS doesn't touch, or eventually, a 5-4 with Roberts siding with PP.
And then there's ABC, who seems fed up with KBJ as it is, but who knows
As for Georgi's lamentation of people not getting health care, and too many babies being born, that's just the lib in Georgi coming out. It's irrelevant
... [L]egislative acts, no matter what their form, that apply either to named individuals or to easily ascertainable members of a group in such a way as to inflict punishment on them without a judicial trial are bills of attainder prohibited by the Constitution....Section 304, thus, clearly accomplishes the punishment of named individuals without a judicial trial. The fact that the punishment is inflicted through the instrumentality of an Act specifically cutting off the pay of certain named individuals found guilty of disloyalty, makes it no less galling or effective than if it had been done by an Act which designated the conduct as criminal.txags92 said:This^.
