Can anyone tell me what "Justicar Retribution" does? I don't have a
copy.
Thanks,

Justicar Retribution
Political Action

Does this burn al Inner Circle members? It seems like it does, but that it a
lot of power for a vote that any vampire can call.

Not only does it burn IC's but let them lay out a couple Pulse's and try
to go for the big body count.
But lets see you try to get it passed when 2 or 3 IC's hit the table its
hard but can be done.

The bleed bonuses that only apply when bleeding (Constanza Vinti, Khabar:
Community, Enchanted Marionette) or bleed bonuses that are optional
(Laptop - since using equipment is always optional, Kalinda) are not
counted by Justicar Retribution.
In short - Justicar Retribution only counts active bleed bonuses,
and since the "bonuses when bleed" aren't active and the optional
bonuses aren't active (unless the minion chooses to make it active),
they don't count.

Hmmm. How do you determine what the current bleed is?
I am aware that Laptop Computer is excluded from calculations, because, as
equipment, it is optional. I suspect that superior spying missions played
on a vampire don't count either.
What about "Loquipment", like Inverary, Scotland. Is that optional too?
What is the "current bleed" of an IC member in torpor, 3 or zero?
What about conditional bleed bonuses? Would Queen Anne be burned if her
prey had a ready Tremere? According to Errata, this bonus is actually
dependent on whether the Methuselah she bleeds has a ready Tremere, so her
"current bleed" is dependent on which Methuselah she chooses to bleed.
Still, would she be burned if ALL other methuselahs had a ready Tremere?

But the Rules page says:
* Does not count a +bleed that isn't 'active' (Laptop,e.g.)[TOM 960109]
Which +bleed modifiers are active, and which aren't?

Equipment is always optional, whereas retainers never are. Thus, the
optional +1 bleed from a laptop is not considered to be "active" or
"current" until it is "activated" during the course of a bleed. The +2
bleed granted by superior Spying Mission is likewise not "activated"
unless certain conditions are met. All other plusses, AFAIK are permanent
and non-optional unless otherwise indicated. If Ozmo (+1 bleed--not
optional) employs Tasha Morgan (which always gives +1 bleed regardless of
intentions of Ozmo) then effectively he has a current bleed of 3 and is
vulnerable to Justicar Retribution. Same goes for superior Pulse of the
Canaille, Legendary Vampire, etc.

Add up all of the bleed modifiers currently in effect and the
minion's base bleed.

Correct. Equipment is always optional, and superior Spying Mission
doesn't increase the minion's bleed until he successfully bleeds the
same Methuselah the next time.

Apparently not:

Inveraray's bonus can't be ignored, so will count for Justicar Retribution
and so forth.

That is a general rule of thumb for designing/writing cards. It is not
a hard and fast rule. Inveraray doesn't say the bonus only applies during
a bleed action, so it applies at all times.

3. Being ready and/or untapped has no bearing on a minion's bleed.

According to errata, she only gets her bonus when "the Methuselah
she bleeds controls a ..." [RTR 960530]
So, when she's not bleeding, the bonus doesn't apply.

It's a political card called by any vampire, if successful, it burns every
vampire with a current bleed of 3 or more.
