ACORN... again...

A few months ago, I couldn't turn on the news (Fox News, it IS real news!) without hearing about the ACORN scandal. I don't hear much about it anymore. I guess they finally wised up and stopped having their people advise hookers and pimps on how to evade their taxes.

But today.. oh it's my lucky day.

I'll give you a minute to read the story. Meet you right back here.

Are you SCREAMING??? WHAT THE HECK KIND OF NONSENSE IS THAT???

This is what bugs me the most:

"The judge, however, wrote that it was "unmistakable that Congress determined ACORN's guilt before defunding it." She said Congress is entitled to investigate ACORN but cannot "rely on the negative results of a congressional or executive report as a rationale to impose a broad, punitive funding ban on a specific, named organization."

So, Judge, what you're saying, is.. it's okay for Congress to investigate ACORN but if they find that ACORN is guilty of, let's see... promoting tax evasion at the very least, they shouldn't use the results of their investigation to decide that funding should be cut off.

That's just like saying that the police have the ability to investigate a crime, but when they prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is guilty of that crime, the court shouldn't use that proof to decide an appropriate punishment.

Shame on you, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon.
