"...the GOP should not attend the state of the union address."

Now THAT is an excellent idea. Of course, John McCain and Lindsey Graham would refuse.

"WRONG! The Dems would just fill their empty seats with more people to clap and cheer."

So, the way to handle that is for the Republicans to stand up and walk out after the arrival of the President.

Its not a law, its a fiat. ... It may even be a bill of attainder, we will have to see what the punishment is in it.

That's what I've been saying since day one of HR 3200 becoming public(1).

It IS a Bill of Attainder(2) as there are Fines and Penalties included in the Bill for failing to comply with congress' dictates.
You are automatically guilty by statute -- without trial, evidence, or any constitutional protection.

(1) I've been unable to find the 'current' senate version of Obama Deathcare and HR 3200 has been amended numerous times.
(2) According to 'Find Law's' legal definitions, this is actually a 'Bill of Pain and Penalties', as a 'Bill of Attainder' involves the Death Sentence. But it's still considered and called a 'Bill of Attainder' and still unconstitutional
