    The Constitution reads: “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.” (Art. I, §9) Congress just passed this ex post facto law by a vote of 388-25. (I voted no, of course.)https://twitter.com/libertycaucus/status/968609254054793216 …

        Rep. Amash: While you’re here and explaining your vote on this, will you also please explain your ‘yea’ vote on #HR620 back on February 15 that gutted a key provision of the American with Disabilities Act?

        That law has been routinely abused. There are a few disabled people who make a living by suing non compliant businesses. This bill gives them 6 months to fix the accessibility before the “victim” can sue.

        It diminishes our national magnanimity to curtail policies for public well-being based on a small number of people exploiting loopholes.

        Replying to @cshbell @justinamash

        As is, a business can be sued for an accessibility issue they didn’t even know about. Six months is a pretty appropriate amount of time for remedying it, what with permits for renovations and inspections. A business that fails to fix it can still be sued.

        The court system already has controls against fraudulent lawsuits. Plaintiffs in accessibility lawsuits still have to demonstrate standing, willful neglect by the business, etc.

        Replying to @cshbell @justinamash

        I am not talking about fraudulent suits. I am talking about a business being sued without being given a chance to correct the accessibility issue first. The new bill ensures that won't happen anymore, while still protecting the right to sue if correction is not done.

        Replying to @rhiamom @justinamash

        However, it places the burden of compliance on disabled persons by requiring them to challenge a business’s non-compliance, rather than incentivizing businesses to meet accessibility criteria. That’s a huge step backwards.

        Wow, seriously? They are trying to shut down social media, among other things. Or: make all of these companies potentially liable, all the time, and thus at the government’s mercy. And that’s not to mention the retroactivity part. Wondering whether they thought this through. 🤔

        You're exactly right, and they've definitely thought it through. The giveaway is the "How could anyone vote against this?" bill name.

        It means *after the fact*. They are setting precedent that will be expanded to other areas, that allows them to further selectivity prosecute crimes- now crimes that were not crimes at the time they were committed can be prosecuted *after the fact*. Gutting the justice system.

        1) I love you Justin. 2) I knew that was a garbage bill the second I read the name of it. It’s getting pretty ridiculous. “HOW COULD YOU VOTE NO ON A BILL CALLED “SAVE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN??” 🙄

        So only 25 Congressmen voted to support the constitution. Sad.

        He was lampooning the standard SCOTUS justices use to make rulings on constitutionality. It’s in his book, Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution. Highly recommended!

        This is not an anti-sex trafficking bill. This is an anti prostitution bill. #Sexwork is not trafficking.
