Responding to general anger, the House passed a bill establishing a 90% tax on the bonuses received by AIG executives, among others.
It has been suggested that this is an unconstitutional bill of attainder, a punishment placed on a specific group of people.
This will go to the Senate next week. I'm interested in whether by then, the furor dies down and a different response to this issue is determined. That's the point of bicameralism.
