Huffpost brings it's brilliant legal analysis once again.
This amendment wouldn't have punished "family members of people who violate U.S. sanctions against Iran." If you listen to Cotton's remarks, it should be pretty clear what this is about. The bill is to place sanctions on Iranians who are involved with human rights violations. This amendment is to extend those sanctions to family members, to prevent funds from being funneled through them.
Now consider how often sanctions are placed against entire nations with very little concern about whether it violates the Constitution.
If you want to see a real instance of violations of the article III section 2, look at civil asset forfeiture in the war on drugs.
