Supreme Court uninterested in ACORN's plight

2010-04-25

Ay Pee, so here's the summary: Back when all those videos came out of various ACORN staffers in various cities advising how to get mortgages for brothels providing underage foreign girls, Congress voted to freeze all federal funding to ACORN. ACORN sued, and a judge agreed they were entitled to the money. However, the appeals court disagreed with the lower court judge, freezing all disbursements. ACORN appealed to the Supreme Court, which on Friday refused to hear the case, thus upholding the appeals court ruling... and incidentally supporting the idea that Congress acted constitutionally.

Trial lawyers suing left wing racketeers? Isn't that like cannabilism?

#2 open season on ACORN spinoffs from ambitious lawyers all over the country

All the ambitious lawyers are suing lawnmower manufacturers -- there's no billable hours or class settlements in reining in left wing racketeers.

#1 Bravo SCOTUS! BTW there is a RICO lawsuit pending against ACORN in Ohio. If it wins, despite ACORN's efforts to conceal assets and reorganize, there will be open season on ACORN spinoffs from ambitious lawyers all over the country.
