Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties that hosted Thursday’s hearing, suggested there was not enough “credible evidence” to warrant a hearing focused exclusively on ACORN.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee with the jurisdiction to conduct the hearing, said he does not think Congress is the place to hear criminal charges.
“It’s not our business to say ACORN is terrible or ACORN is wonderful. That’s not a congressional job,” Mr. Nadler said. “The evidence - I’ve listened to it - I think most of it is nonsense. If it’s true, it’s a law enforcement matter.”
However, he said he would bow to Mr. Conyers’ request for a hearing. Mr. Conyers said he hasn’t “pushed him yet.”

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat, earlier bucked his party leaders by calling for hearings on accusations the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) has committed crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.
“The powers that be decided against it,” Mr. Conyers told The Washington Times.
There could be 100 of these tapes and the dems in Congress will do nothing. Hell, Obama will probably ask them to give ACORN another $ 4 billion, and they would approve it.
It is a Law enforcewment issue, and the Kings County DA has opened an investigation.
See my earlier post.

Man. Really? He believes that? But it was important to say whether or not baseball players used steriods and if they did they were bad, but it is not important to find out if a taxpayer funded group is helping people to illegally bring young girls into the country for forced prostitution and if they did THEY are bad? He really does not think Congress should be checking into to this at all? I don't get it.
