ACORN has long been a criminal enterprise and our President's long association with it and Rev. Wright should lead honest folk to some conclusions that would be apparent to a 3rd grader. At least former President Carter had some experience as a governor of a state and Ms. Palin had been a Mayor with real responsibilities. Congress is attempting to cover something up with these votes in my view and it is not hard to see whose cya they are cya ing.

A bill of attainder is a declaration of crimminality made by the legislature. This is not even close to that. Even our internment of Japanese-Americans in WWII wasn't a bill of attainder and that was a lot closer to one than this. Did you miss that day at SLU or were you still high from the break?

In other words, the bill could plausibly defund the entire military-industrial complex. Whoops.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) picked up on the legislative overreach and asked the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) to sift through its database to find which contractors might be caught in the ACORN net.

Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman both popped up quickly, with 20 fraud cases between them, and the longer list is a Who's Who of weapons manufacturers and defense contractors.
