Bathroom Bachmann doesn't understand due process

There's a lot of things Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) doesn't understand.

Avoiding looking like an idiot is one of them. The Constitution and due process are others.

Yesterday, Bathroom Bachmann (who got this nickname when she hid from constituents in a lavatory) introduced a bill that deigns to prohibit organizations indicted for breaking state or federal election laws from getting HUD money. Bachmann wants to use this bill as a weapon against ACORN.

Anyone who doesn't have their head so far up their ass that it's reemerging from their mouth can see that the investigation against ACORN is politically motivated. This probe was launched by a Bush-appointed right-wing federal prosecutor in Nevada who had a beef with this organization.

The charges against ACORN are bogus. I can say that with almost 100% confidence, because I know the GOPstapo's vendetta politics like a book. It's also been found that Republican operatives have been submitting phony voter registrations to ACORN just so ACORN can be blamed for them.

The real issue with Bachmann's bill is that presumes guilt after indictment. The bill doesn't even bother to wait for a conviction. Every nutball prosecutor in the land has got to be rubbing their hands together in excitement waiting to harass some innocent organization just so they lose funding.

If anyone has gotten easy access to taxpayer money, it's right-wing groups like abusive teen "rehab" cults. Why do these criminal enterprises even get a penny?

And guess what? Michele Bachmann has supported earmarks of taxpayer dollars for these right-wing cults. Surprise, surprise.
