OOPS...........ACORN Funding Looks To Be Restored

There must be a special reason for me to ever link to Politico. This is one of those special reasons:
A judge in New York ordered that ACORN’s federal funding be restored, rolling back a slew of Congressional actions that sought to stop taxpayer money from flowing to the community group on the heels of a fall full of embarrassments for it.
But so you don't have to read the entire thing from there, try here
Today, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon granted a preliminary injunction against the United States for unconstitutionally withholding funds from ACORN. In its decision, the court found that there is a likelihood the plaintiffs will be able to show that Congress’ targeted defunding of ACORN violates the Constitution’s prohibition against Bills of Attainder, legislative acts which single out a specific person or group for punishment.

The Court’s ruling stated, “The plaintiffs have raised a fundamental issue of separation of powers. They have been singled out by Congress for punishment that directly and immediately affects their ability to continue to obtain federal funding, in the absence of any judicial, or administrative, process adjudicating guilt... The public will not suffer harm by allowing the plaintiffs to continue work on contracts duly awarded by federal agencies...”
So, will CNN do a follow up story on all of this?

And, how about the Fixed Propaganda network, you can imagine the anger all of their comedians like Dreck, Insanity, and O'Liely will have. OH WHAT FUN.

Early holiday gift for all of you! Even for those who don't celebrate the holidays.
