Can a law be made that’s just about one person? I guess they did it with Terri Schiavo...

Are you a lawyer?

No, I’m not a lawyer, but have studied a lot of the writings of the founders so I know a lot of the reasons behind constitutional provisions.

I believe that a law against a specific individual is a bill of attainder, and would be illegal but I’m not sure.
