CJ, > And no, Congress probably cannot just decide they won't do business with a particular entity for any reason not having to do with price. Sure they can. They can just say, "We need to reduce the trillion dollar deficit by a few million." Bye bye ACORN! Tenchusatsu

How so? It is aimed at a specific entity. By name. Its defunding a specific entity by name, not imposing criminal penalties on a specific entity. Congress probably cannot just decide they won't do business with a particular entity for any reason not having to do with price. Sure they can. They could earmark every dollar of the federal budget and it wouldn't be unconstitutional. Congress can decide who gets what.
