The article is hard to read. Today's journalist almost write short hand expecting the readers to understand there point while delivering minimal information.
The article doesn’t explain anything!

The initial ruling was ludicrous;

Quote:
In March, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon in New York ruled that Congress had no authority to deny funding to to the scandal-ridden ACORN organization. It was a bizarre decision, with the judge essentially saying that congress had no right to “punish” ACORN without a trial. The problem here is that if that were the case every group that congress arbitrarily denies money too would suddenly have grounds for a lawsuit.

Many conservatives are against ACORN because ACORN helps poor people and encourages them to vote.

Well, if that's all they really did then no one would be against them.
It's all the other things ACORN does that get people riled up.
