ACORN Sues Over 'Unconstitutional' Funding Cuts By Congress
2009-11-13
Cue: Laugh Track, Rubber Car Horn
Representatives for ACORN sued the federal government Thursday morning in an attempt to regain the millions of dollars in funding the community organizing group lost after filmmakers videotaped its workers offering advice on how to commit tax fraud and various other felonies.
That wacky Congress...
The suit charges Congress with violating the Constitution when it passed legislation in September that specifically targeted ACORN to lose federal housing, education and transportation funds.
ACORN was written into the Constitution- who knew? (honk honk)

#6  It's actually pretty smart. The government will be represented by Eric Holder, who will negotiate a settlement that will turn the spigot back on.

#1  They can take a place in line behind the states [federal withholding for compliance] or the universities [federal withholding for compliance], et al. However, never underestimate the lust for power of the judiciary to seize the purse given the opportunity. How Congress spends the purse is their prerogative till then. [The last one who pushed the point sort of lost his head over it.]
