[I'm proud of Chris, he agreed with the Republican, and praised him for his stand (although he did slam the 50% of Republicans who voted with the Democrats to tax the Bonus at 90%). According to Matthews, this is an ex post facto law, a bill of attainder, and unconstitutional, which was one of the reasons we fought a revolution in this country in 1776. It is a use of the tax law to punish someone for an action which was not illegal at the time the action was committed. The tax law is used because no court would allow this to stand.]

Interesting, it sounds like FOX news now... finally... taxation without represantation will not stand. But, that's aside from greed and added taxation itself, etc. (onto the common tolks... where's Abe?! Anyways...)

That's what the Constitution was for, the people, not necessarily a party (be it Democrat, Republican or Communist/heaven forbid , because it would be a for-one-party for decades).

Anyways... fwiw.
