No Digging Into ACORN [Stephen Spruiell]
The Washington Times reports that House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. has backed off his plan to investigate ACORN, or whatever they're calling themselves these days:
Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat, earlier bucked his party leaders by calling for hearings on accusations the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) has committed crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style "protection" racket.
"The powers that be decided against it," Mr. Conyers told The Washington Times.
The chairman declined to elaborate, shrugging off questions about who told him how to run his committee and give the Democrat-allied group a pass.
Perhaps because it goes without saying.
