Judge Rules Once an Organization on Public Teat, May Never Be Separated

Via Stacy McCain, Malkin on the judgment that stopping funds to ACORN amounts to a Bill of Attainder.

In every case that an organization uses shell games to hide its funneling of public monies to partisan purposes, embezzles, falsifies documents, suborns fraud . . . Congress has no power to de-fund them, it appears.

But Congress is giving itself the power to regulate financial institutions. There is, of course, no chance that this will be used to partisan purposes, is there?

Does it make any sense at all, do you think, that money can be given to specific institutions via earmarking, but cannot be taken away by a similar mechanism?
