anyway but no. if youre curious/unfamiliar corruption of blood by bill of attainder refers to an old legal practice in England and probably other places in the western european royal/aristocratic system (all Salic law? uncertain) anyway

a bill of attainder in parliamentary systems is when the legislature gets together and votes that someone is guilty of a crime. no trial, just political vote these are understood to be banned

another feature of these systems was "corruption of blood", in which a crime committed usually by a title noble was punished not only by punishing the offender but depriving an heir of his ability to inherit property and titles this was mostly a political measure

oh interesting. wikipedia claims on attainder. so apparently attainder is simply tied to corruption, and the /bill/ or /writ/ bit refers to the source of the attainderpic.twitter.com/Cm2flZn3pr

this paragraph is hilarious to me. as i suspected from a hostile reading the text of the Constitution *only* prohibits attainder for treason specifically so hypothetically constitutionally you could assign attainder as a penalty for jaywalkingpic.twitter.com/XiZ5EkINJI
