CJ, > This is clearly a bill of attainder

The Heritage Foundation has a very detailed argument against that assertion:

Of course, ACORN's bacon is saved anyway, as their funding will continue uninterrupted while lawyers sympathetic to their cause will twist the Constitution and drag the case out as long as they can.
