ACORN Sues Congress

ACORN has filed suit against Congress and the Obama administration because its funding has been taken away.

"All this without a hearing and with no judicial adjudication of guilt," ACORN said in its suit. ACORN said being singled out amounts to a bill of attainder, an ancient legal concept that deems a single person or entity guilty and worthy of punishment by legislation. Bills of attainder are prohibited by the Constitution's Fifth Amendment.

Lawmakers have rejected the charge, saying neither ACORN nor any other group is entitled to federal funding.

Heh.
