      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

      AND THEN the first congress realized immediately that they had fucked up and passed a new but non-Constitutional law prohibiting attainder's use in other situations BUT THIS IS ONLY LEGISLATIVE

      so basically we are legislative majorities, a willing president, and 230 years of having just forgotten about this little fucksie-wucksie from bringing back Attainder for whatever people want

      and in fact it is even worse than that because the 1790 law prohibits attainder only at the Federal level so yes the Constitution is incorporated in some sense (who made that shit up) but nothing in the Constitution bans attainder except for treason

          hmm - after my Taylor Swift thread blew up and some helpful professors stopped by to let me know how the ways in which I was Wrong, I am somewhat chastened as to the limits of my knowledge but this seems correct

          the 1790 statute prohibiting corruption of blood for felony is no longer on the books. It was repealed as part of the 1984 sentencing reform act so, uh, this experiment could occur at the federal level too?
