What are you doing voting "Yea" on H.R.1586?
You make yourself look ridiculous sir! You voted for TARP, and as I understand it, these bonuses were permitted specifically by TARP. Not to mention the idea expressed specifically in the US Constitution under Article 1 Section 9. It seems that many in both the House and Congress have lost their copy so I will quote for you...
"No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed."
You cannot get yourself out of the hole you dug (in voting for TARP) by needlessly and senselessly digging further. You are nullifying contracts (the very essence of our legal and legislative systems, for what is law if not a contract between the governed and the governing) and you make a mockery of our founding documents.
I would suggest that you gravely consider the notion that, now, more than any time in remembered history, conservatives and all lovers of freedom are watching very closely the moves their government are making. I would proffer the proliferation of Tea Parties all over America as evidence that a movement is taking place, all over the country, on a grass-roots level. It is a movement that will not tolerate charlatans or snake-oil salesmen. For too long we have been ruled by those who see ruling as a right rather than the privilege it is.
Where do you stand sir? Do you stand for freedom, the rule of law, and the God-given right of a people to determine their own course? Or do you stand on the side of those that would look to reconstruct this nation (and indeed all of creation) in their own graven image? History is littered with the remnants of those that would rule with tyrannical whimsy.
I sincerely implore you...
Take your finger out of the air and legislate through the convictions of your character or step down and make room for those that will.
And if this IS your character, then I would implore you to step down anyways...
Sincerely
