The federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan overturned a lower-court ruling that said the move violated the Constitution by punishing ACORN without a trial.
“Despite that evidence of punitive intent on the part of some members of Congress . . . there is no congressional finding of guilt in this case,” the three-judge panel ruled.
But the appeals court also sent the case back to Brooklyn federal Judge Nina Gershon to consider ACORN’s claims that its free-speech and due-process rights were violated.
Congress cut off funding for ACORN last year after conservative activists recorded workers offering advice on how to set up a proposed prostitution business.










I propose that the house next door to Sarah Palin occupied by author Joe McGinnis be torn down so we can re-locate the mosque to Wasilla. It can’t be any worse than the all male ex-convicts who lived there for 4 years and she never complained about that.
