2. They lose and we get to start stripping funding from all the war contractors and other scum corporations who are guilty of criminal acts. Here's a list.
If #2 happens I'll eat my hat (though that would be pretty great)
Because I think the law was wrong. I think it was a despicable partisan ploy. I don't remember any of the same people getting outraged enough to write laws against any other organization that had individuals allegedly commit crimes. And when our legislators start singling out organizations with potentially unconstitutional laws for purely partisan reasons, this nation is in a heap load of trouble.
In an attempt to regain the millions in funding it lost in the wake of a hidden-camera scandal, ACORN is suing the federal government over congressional legislation that cut off funding to the community organizing group.
Shouldn't we then start defunding KBR, Haliburton, Blackwater, Lockheed Martin, and myriad of other organizations due to scandals (everything from prostitution to rape)? I'm not a lawyer so I may be completely wrong, but isn't it illegal to have this double standard on the sole basis politics? Also their (ACORN's) argument does make sense...
The thing is if the court rules the Law legal, the Obama Admin will likely only try and apply it to ACORN which would be illegal.
But only Congress could call him on this illegality and they are not likely to do that.
We do no live in a Country where the Rule of Law matters much anymore.
Have you seen all the right wingers in this forum that are more than happy to blow off the Constitution as long as they can stick it to the other side?
When someone is insulting, disrespectful and wrong, we say so, and when they are right we say so. Just because he was sane once in his life, does not mean we excuse him when he spouts hateful partisan rhetoric.

PARTISAN ploy? It was DEMOCRATS who cancelled the funding... Are you calling Democrats partisan because Republicans surely couldnt cancel the funding on their own..
