Congressman Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, denounced a Republican amendment adopted by the House of Representatives Thursday to deny all federal funds to the advocacy group the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) as blatantly unconstitutional and a threat to unpopular organizations everywhere.
Nadler said the Republican initiative, the Defund ACORN Act, introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-CA, singles out a specific organization by name for exclusion from participating in any federal program, in direct violation of the Constitution’s prohibition against Bills of Attainder. The amendment was attached to a student loan bill.

I did not know ACORN funding was in the Constitution.
As a matter of fact I don’t think the Constitution makes it okay to take peoples’ tax dollars and give it to other people.

This obese slug wouldn’t have any idea what is Constitutional.
Cutting off a criminal enterprise is the intelligent thing to do.

A bill of attainder is an act of the legislature declaring a person or group of persons guilty of some crime and punishing them without benefit of a trial.
Congress is NOT declaring anyone a CRIMINAL, they are cutting off funds to a GROUP.
Damn...
Talk about REACHING.
You can expect more of the Dems who have NO HOPE of getting reelected without ACORn to start whining soon.

Did Jabba the Congressman cite a particular article and section of the Constitution, or did he just pull this assertion out of his ample rear end?

The Constitution was written by rich white guys. Anyway, isn't it just a "living document?"
