Move to cut ACORN funding ruled unconstitutional

Post by Insurrectionist »

So can someone tell me how in the hell this is unconstitutional. I know of no amendments in the constitution that say the government has to fund any organization. U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon says it's in the public's interest for the organization to continue receiving federal funding. How is it in the best interest to continue to fund a group that wants to setup a prostitution ring with illegal underage girls, not to mention all allegations of voter-registration fraud and embezzlement? Maybe Washington just need to cut funding to all groups and organizations. How much will that help the budget?

Ever seen that show, "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"? Know how they always had points, but they didn't mean anything? I'm pretty sure the budget is a bit like that.
Amg! It's on every post and it WON'T GO AWAY!!

Not to derail but just to point out how weird everything has gotten. Here in GA, as far as I can tell, a teacher can *now have sexual contact with a 16 year old student, as long as it's consensual.
