Obama admin violates law again......funding ACORN buddies (Congress, illegal, dollars)

[KUchief25]

Law what is that? Hell there's plenty of ways around the pesky law especially if your the president, or tyrant I should say. I'm sure this IG will be looking for a job like the last one Gerald Walpin who dared investigate Americorps.

A Judicial Watch investigation has found that the Obama Administration recently violated the ban on federal funding for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) by giving the famously corrupt group tens of thousands of dollars in grants to “combat housing and lending discrimination.”
Congress passed a law (Defund ACORN Act) in 2009 to stop the huge flow of taxpayer money that annually went to ACORN after a series of exposés about the leftwing group’s illegal activities. here (http://www.judicialwatch.org/investigation-acorn - broken link).

Didn't the high court find the law to be unconstitutional since it targets one group?

No surprise here. And itll be no surprise that they get away with it.

We've already learned that the Democrats NEED corrupt groups like ACORN and powerful Unions to survive and push their liberal agenda. Without them, the Dems would struggle mightily.

If this investigation is true, this Admin should be held accountable. But much like other lies and wrong doings, this Admin will get away with it. Because we have a media that is so damn corrupt, who refuse to do their jobs....which is to be a watch dog for the people of this country, not pushers and enablers.

So you agree with acorn? Their polices, and how they have conducted themselves? Court ruling or not?

Did you say the same things when the media pushed a war that destroyed a nation? Of course not, you were too busy cheering.

Why wouldn't someone? They did nothing illegal but are targeted by those who do.

So you have no problem with congress making a law that is unconstitutional as long as it attacks a group you don't like?
