House Republicans To Defund ACORN Again, Even Though It Still Does Not Exist

[g5000]

Many ACORN members and organizers formed new state-wide organizations.[8][/B]

from:
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In most cases, the same leftist fanatics are working out of the same offices, supporting the same socislist causes, using the same stationery (still with the ACORN name on it), and breaking all the same laws. But the charter name in some dusty file cabinet in Delaware, now has a different title.

And those leftist fanatics are hoping you will be stupid enough to believe ACORN is "gone"... just because they say so.

Looks like the only people who are that stupid, are the leftists in this thread who are insisting it's true.

If the idiot from Texas wanted to ban funding for the organizations which have a different name than ACORN, then he should have specified them instead of the extinct one.

I bet you can't even name one, and are just repeating something you heard which jibes with your bias.

So go ahead. Name one.

What do you think subsidiaries or successors means?
ACORN is now COI - Community Organizations International. It's ACORN with a new name.
COI is the successor of ACORN

Why didn't the Texan name COI then?

Because COI operates overseas. It is not the same ACORN that worked in the US that all the fuss was about.

They need to change their elephant to a dead horse.

They'd only need half a horse.

You do know that's Unconstitutional, right?

Killing ACORN four years after it died
37 votes to repeal Obamacare
Naming post offices

Those things Republicans can find time to vote on........Jobs, presidential appointments, student loan rates

Just not on their agenda

And yet they bitch about how much tax payer money is "wasted" on social services.

Since when is our military funding not going to an international organization unconstitutional?

Definition: Bill of Attainder.

ACORN sued the United States Government in the United States District Court in Brooklyn over the measure, known as the "Defund ACORN Act," claiming it was a bill of attainder, and therefore unconstitutional. Experts varied on the merit of the case. One argument was that while government funding choices do not generally qualify as bills of attainder, the lack of a non-punitive regulatory purpose for the legislation may give a court "sufficient basis to overcome the presumption of constitutionality." The court issued a preliminary injunction that nullified the act.

In response to an inquiry from a Housing and Urban Development Department lawyer, David Barron, the acting assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, wrote a five-page memorandum concluding that the law does not prohibit the government from paying ACORN for services already performed. On December 11, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon issued a preliminary injunction blocking the government from enforcing its temporary spending ban, a week before it was set to expire. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) opened an investigation of ACORN in December, 2009. In June, 2010, the GAO released a preliminary report stating the investigation has found no sign the group or related organizations mishandled the $40 million in federal money they received from nine federal agencies.

On August 13, 2010 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed Judge Gershon's decision. The appeals court cited a study finding that only 10% of ACORN's funding came from federal sources, and stated, "We doubt that the direct consequences of the appropriations laws temporarily precluding ACORN from federal funds were so disproportionately severe or so inappropriate as to constitute punishment."

Their law suit went bye bye

Considering the shit they've pulled, it should be unconstitutional for politicians to steal from us and give it to them.

"None of the funds made available in this Act may be distributed to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) or its subsidiaries or successors."

Isn't there something that says you can't pass a law that applies to only one entity?

Yep.

Even more so given that the bill specifically specifies ACORN.

I provided links in this very thread why that's the case. But do yourself a favor and actually read the Constitution. It may shock you.
