Conyers to investigate ACORN?

The Washington Times reporter S.A. Miller writes this morning that far-Left Congressman John Conyers is contemplating investigating charges that “community activist group” ACORN engaged in voter fraud in the last election;

Opponents of the liberal activist group ACORN have found an unlikely champion in House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr., who is clashing with his own party to pursue hearings on accusations that the group has committed crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

“I still want to do it and I probably will,” Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat, told The Washington Times on Tuesday.

He dismissed the argument made by fellow Democrats that accusations of voter fraud and other crimes should be explored by prosecutors and decided in court, not by lawmakers in Congress.

“That’s our jurisdiction, the Department of Justice,” Mr. Conyers said. “That’s what we handle – voter fraud. Unless that’s been taken out of my jurisdiction and I didn’t know it.”

Of course, this is the same John Conyers who promised his far-Left constituency that he’d pursue impeachment charges against George Bush and strung them along for more than two years.

Jerrold Nadler, often referred to here often as The Waddler, is against any probe, but says he’ll go along with Conyers;

“It’s not our business to say ACORN is terrible or ACORN is wonderful. That’s not a congressional job,” Mr. Nadler said. “The evidence – I’ve listened to it – I think most of it is nonsense. If it’s true, it’s a law enforcement matter.”

Of course, I think this is just Conyer’s way of burying the truth and preventing a Justice Department investigation. It’s also pretty odd that when a Republican wins an election, there are charges and investigation of electoral fraud, but when Democrats win, suddenly the process is fair and equitable. I wonder why it always turns out that way?
