Court halts anti-ACORN massacre

Wingnuts' heads started exploding yesterday when a federal judge issued an injunction that bars Congress's ban on ACORN funding.

Judge Nina Gershon said the ban is an unconstitutional bill of attainder, as it singles out ACORN exclusively.

Further, the court noted that Congress didn't even bother to go through any judicial or administrative process of determining whether ACORN was guilty of violating any laws after the much-ballyhooed hoax video made by right-wing activists.

Isn't it ironic that the judicial branch knows more about the Constitution than the legislative branch? The judiciary - which is not elected - knows more about democracy than an elected body like Congress!
