I’ve been waiting to see what happened with this. It is an interesting question, because it does potentially impact upon the obligation of contract, which used to be regarded with some sanctity. That I suppose must be weighed against the idea that Congress’ decision not to fund an organization constitutes punishment, which I frankly find hard to imagine. Cue the appeal.
There better be an appeal because federal taxpayer money going to a criminal organization=ACORN SHOULD trump any contract.
