THE DEMOCRATS LEFTIST LIBERALS - WHEN CORNERED OF LOSING FUNDING WITH THE FRONTING THE PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTIONS WITH TAX DOLLARS FOR SELLING BABY PARTS FOR PROFIT - NOW CLAIMS BEING DEFUNDED IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL–SIMILAR TO WHEN ACORN–THE DEMOCRATS BHO HISTORICAL ALLIANCE OF VOTER FRAUD–CLAIMED THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL WHEN BEING DEFUNDED OF TAX PAYERS MONEY AFTER CAUGHT WITH THE SAME VIDEO EXPOSE–THE LIBERALS WOULD TRASH AND TURN LIKE A DEAD MACKEREL OUT OF WATER BEFORE FINALLY BECOMING A STIFF

Some critics of the attempt to stop federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation’s number one abortion provider, are now making the erroneous claim that to do so would be unconstitutional.

However, that claim, as expressed by Drexel law professor David S. Cohen, who says that cutting off federal funding would be an unconstitutional bill of attainder (a legislative act punishing someone without a trial), is nonsense.

Cohen seems unfamiliar with ACORN v. U.S., a 2010 decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that shows, as Ed Whelan (president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center) says, that Cohen “doesn’t know what a bill of attainder is.”

This case raised the exact same issues that Cohen raises in his commentary. ACORN and the ACORN Institute sued after a continuing appropriations resolution and subsequent appropriations laws barred federal funding for ACORN and all of its affiliates, subsidiaries, and allied organizations.
