He has no point. This is not a bill of attainder. While I am not sure Congress really has the constitutional authority to fund groups like ACORN, we clearly operate on the assumption that it does.
That being the case, Congress has the authority to fund or defund organizations as it sees fit.
If a defense contractor is caught on tape making bribes or offering to sell secrets to foreign powers would a trial be needed before that company could be cut off?
If Congress simply decides to end a particular social program or change the means of operating it, would the organizations losing funding have the right to a trial first? Of course not.
Nadler is a defender of those who would facilitate sex slavery , involving children, not a defender of the Constitution!
It would take Nadler to be brass faced about this. Is there anyone more sexually evil in the Congress?
