I can't fucking believe this bullshit.
Obama. What. The. Fuck? Where's your promised filibuster?

Did any of the "Yes votes" read Article One of the Constitution[0]?

What is unclear about the following?

"No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." [1][2]

How is this not a text book example of an ex post factor Law?

This is horrible,
Jacob
