attainder (uh-TAYN-duhr) noun

Loss of property and civil rights of a person outlawed or sentenced to
death.

[Middle English, from Old French ataindre, to accuse.]

And too many Americans are ignorant of the U.S.Constitution's sections protecting us from the abuses
that good old George the Turd afflicted us with:

Section 9...
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.


No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.
