Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder";

The United States Constitution forbids legislative bills of attainder: in federal law under Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 ("No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed"), and in state law under Article I, Section 10. The fact that they were banned even under state law reflects the importance that the Framers attached to this issue.

Within the U.S. Constitution, the clauses forbidding attainder laws serve two purposes. First, they reinforce the separation of powers by forbidding the legislature to perform judicial or executive functions, as a bill of attainder necessarily does. Second, they embody the concept of due process, which is reinforced by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.


Clearly HERA solely targets and victimizes FnF, the twin private shareholder companies and its shareholders. SCOTUS should have struck down HERA in its entirety because of constitutional prohibition of such laws targeting specific individuals and companies.

All are welcome to post views on this.
