As in..
“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."
and a bill of pains and penalties included in the same class as Bill of Attainder although much less lethal in intent.
AmJur2d has a couple of interesting observations. A bill of attainder violates the separation of powers. Deciding punishments is a function of the judicial branch rather than the legislative.
Next swing by Administrative Law in AmJur2d. This they describe as the FOURTH branch of government which incorporates legislative, judicial and executive branches in one neat package.
Wait! If a bill of attainder violates the separation of powers then why isn't Administrative Law considered a bill of attainder? This makes all government agencies that practice Administrative Law bogus ...prohibited...below dd facto and far removed from de jure. Certainly not bonæ fidæ.
