Okay, fine, don't single out a group ... defund it all.

I couldn't find that bit about redistributing my tax money to special interest groups to work against me in my copy of the Constitution, anyway.

Following this pinhead’s logic, Congress may not end (or even lower) federal spending for any entity, anywhere, because that constitutes a “bill of attainder.”

Even more specifically, under her theory you could not eliminate funding for an earmark if the earmark became controversial. Suppose there was funding for the Lawrence Welk Museum (there once was). Suppose it became a public issue (which it did). Then suppose Congress stripped the funding because it had become controversial to fund the museum. Under her logic, that would be a "bill of attainder" and thus illegal.

Makes me wonder what they are “teaching” in law schools these days. Obama himself was a law professor, but didn’t know what he was talking about when he accused the SCOTUS of overturning a century old legal precedent in the state of the union address.

Apparently, they are making it up as they go.

ACORN slated to get nearly $4 billion in Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget

To add to the list of outrageous earmarks in Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget, ACORN, the embezzlement-prone, voter-registration-fraud-plagued, leftist community organizing group, is slated to receive nearly $4 billion from a taxpayer-funded slush fund.

The money will come from the Community Development Block Grant, one of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s longest-running programs. The HUD Web site cryptically defines the grant’s purpose as providing “communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs,” not a reassuring description given the group’s recent past history of aiding the community through gratuitous missappropriation of funds.

Has Congress already forgotten the Sept. 2009 ban it passed on ACORN and ACORN-afiliate funding? Or the video that led to the ban, footage showing ACORN employees urging individuals they thought were a prostitute and her pimp to set up a brothel and advising the pair on evading taxpaying? It would have had a hard time doing so, cosidering that ACORN is currently suing the federal government for the attempted ban.

what is being done to stop this?

We need to block ACORN funding somehow.

It’s troubling when you listen and watch all the clips of Obama that reveal who he is long before he was elected.....It was out there and the majority of voters (with the help of ACORN of course) voted him in anyway.....We have at the very least a Muslim sympathiser who is corrupt beyond words, and was tied at the hip with Acorn (even though he lied in his public denial) as president, it’s not very likely Acorn will disappear....We have on video how corrupt they are and it’s business as usual...

It wasn’t reported in the news. They are in on the deal.
I am hoping for everyone to take to the streets soon. We need to feed the roots of the tree of freedom with a little blood. Nuff said.

   The playbook of this administration is the ceaseless hustle.

  Surely, there's a Constitutional method of defunding a corrupt organization. Could Congress defund a host of other criminal organizations (Dept. of Agriculture, Education, Commerce, etc.) and not be accused of a issuing a Bill of Attainder?

ACORN disbanded before the verdict by this communist judge. Doesn’t the new entity have to requalify for these funds? ACORN is no more.

“Obama himself was a law professor”

Obama has NEVER in his life been a law professor. He lied!

He taught constitutional law at U of Chicago 1992-2004, but like I said he doesn’t know what he is talking about.

He was NOT a professor. He was an “instructor”. That is a far cry from a professor. Obama lied once again. U of Chicago provost stated this in the Chicago newspapers.

Wouldn’t usurping the authority of congress be an impeachable (and perhaps seditious) act?

Someone should check this judge’s bank account to see if some recent, large deposits were made.
