I’d cut SOBs off the government teat so fast their heads would spin. You guys cover points so well ( a lawyers trait) sometimes my comment could be a simple, “yeah!” So sometimes I option for snark, to help point out the absurdity that is our Barry.

But this poisonous octopus has tentacles in every state, and there are no doubt state and local prosecutors who will take the bastards to court.<br /><br />The best shot so far has been ACORN's threats to sue the people who exposed them. Andrew Breitbart, for one, is ready, willing and able to take them on in court. The civil discovery process could end up being the rope they hang themselves with.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-13138583341036252692009-11-16T16:16:44.106-05:002009-11-16T16:16:44.106-05:00Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment but I would...Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment but I wouldn't mind seeing ACORN on trial.

No right, period.<br /><br />The AIG bonuses are based on fundamental constitutional rights, including private property and the right to contract. Whether they earned them or deserved them is a political/moral argument, not a legal one. The Obama administration's action was a clear attempt to skirt the Constitution and void a legally-binding contract.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-54608571382091367002009-11-16T13:21:13.494-05:002009-11-16T13:21:13.494-05:00The problem for ACORN is that organizations/contra...The problem for ACORN is that organizations/contractors don't have a right to receive federal money or contracts. So this can't be considered punishment. Though I expect ACORN has looked long and far for a district court judge who probably will rule in their favor . . . at least until the Second Circuit overturns them.<br /><br />A real example of a recent bill of attainder was the attempt to tax the AIG bonuses at 90%.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.com
