NEW YORK � ACORN has filed a lawsuit claiming that Congress violated the
Constitution when it passed a law cutting off federal funding to the
organization.

The Center for Constitutional Rights filed the lawsuit on ACORN's behalf
Thursday in Brooklyn federal court. It claims the law was unconstitutional
because it punitively targeted an individual organization.

Messages for comment left at the White House and the federal agencies
named in the suit were not immediately returned.

ACORN, short for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform
Now, portrays itself as an advocate for the poor and minorities.

The group's CEO, Bertha Lewis, says she underestimated the impact of the
Congressional action. She says state, local and most private funds have
been cut off as well.

You're out of business, hit the road.

I cant seem to find anywhere the Constitution allows funding of any private
organization.
