Federal Court Reinstates ACORN Funding Ban
by PubliusFrom the Associated Press:
A federal appeals court on Wednesday handed the government a victory by temporarily blocking a judge’s finding that Congress was wrong to halt federal funding to the activist group ACORN.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan also agreed to expedite the government’s appeal of U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon’s rulings that the funding cutoff was unconstitutional. Oral arguments were likely to occur before July.
The appeals court’s one-paragraph decision to freeze Gershon’s two rulings that found Congress acted unconstitutionally will remain in place until the 2nd Circuit rules on the merits of the government’s appeal. It acted a day after hearing arguments.
The government had argued that it was necessary to block the Brooklyn judge’s ruling to ensure that federal agencies weren’t required to commit funds that haven’t been appropriated by Congress. It said Congress did the same as several states and localities when it tried to protect federal funds by stopping certain federal agencies from pledging money to ACORN and its affiliates because of evidence of systemic mismanagement by the group.
Attorney Jules Lobel, of the Center for Constitutional Rights, represented ACORN and said he was considering taking the unusual step of appealing the temporary order to the U.S. Supreme Court. He said government lawyers needed to show the appeals court that it would suffer irreparable harm to block Gershon’s rulings.
“They never even attempted to show that,” he said.
Lobel, who argued against the stay before a three-judge panel of the 2nd Circuit on Tuesday, said the decision was another blow to ACORN, which has suffered through a national scandal and been driven to near ruin after three employees were caught on video apparently advising a couple posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend to lie about her profession and launder her earnings.
“It further drives the nail into ACORN,” he said. “It just delays crawling out of the hole. Justice delayed here is justice denied.”

…ACORN, which has suffered through a national scandal and been driven to near ruin after three employees were caught on video
apparentlyadvising a couple posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend to lie about her profession and launder her earningsThere, fixed that for ya.
It further drives the nail into ACORN
Seems like a stake would be more appropriate, but whatever works!
Systemic mismanagement is an under statement, of a huge magnitude.
God Bless America
Thank God.
Handed government a victory????? Is this a joke?
but… isn't getting gov't money a Constitutional right? It must be…. isn't it?
Lets hope it lasts till November….
Well yes, but only if you didn't earn it.
ACORN is a criminal organization trained by Obama and they engaged in underage Latina prostitution and human trafficking and laundering money on numerous occasions — what are these people doing out of jail?
RICO act — investigate and send them to jail. Yes, I know who is in the White House, that's why it needs to be done.
.
"Systemic mismanagement" I'm going to have to remember that. It may come in handy.
No officer. I was not speeding. My foot suffered from sytemic mismangement with the gas pedal.
IRS? No…….. my Turbo Tax and my pc both faced systemic mismanagement on April 15th.
Gentlemen's club matches in my sport coat? No honey, it was a case of……..
Holder will never work for the taxpayers. Shown over and over again the entire administration hold taxpayers in contempt. I wish it were not that way but it is.
Come on November!!!
I said it before and I'll say it again…I don't think tax payers should be funding any of this crap…
Let every organization like this, left or right, survive on their own merits by donations etc….
Caption for this Photo. Bertha Lewis saying
"You mean I have to get a real job now"
DITTO!….cardon.
Too funny …….."and I have to pay taxes!"
Love the photo of this wild woman. If they are a private organization, let them act like it and get their corrupt hand out of my wallet.
Is there a reason why people who cannot be bothered to register to vote should be voting? Is this not an excellent example of people who are too lazy to do for themselves having someone do for them? I don't want to pay for this effort.
I'll let this vid speak for me on this…. Hey Bertha and the Rathke boyshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX3UqY8KZpU

Where did all of that money go?
And please. No one confuse the Judge Nina Gershon with the actress Gina Gershon who has been on the other receiving end of POTUS 42 which should normally be reserved for Hillary. Well if their "marriage" was actually a marriage then perhaps Hillary and Bill and Gina would have shared that Mailbu sunset with a nice Fume Blanc. No such luck for Hillary? I dunno.
I wouldn't want to put that Judge in the same sentence as those three. Implicating anyone in any of this is just plain wrong. And I won't be a party to it. Just because they share the same last name should not mean to say that ACORN wasn't in some way helpful to either Clintons.
And it should also not be misconstrued to mean that Gina or ACORN got screwed.
Bertha looks like she is taking a dump.
Isn't ACORN barred from doing "bidness" in Ohio? Hasn't the state of Ohio successfully sued this criminal organization for "systemic mismanagement" of it's manipulation of the voter base in Ohio?
Can a reasonable person extrapolate that ACORN is a criminal organization EVERYWHERE? er…yes.
Should ACORN get a single thin dime from hard working Americans who over taxed and under represented? NO.
for instance "Bubba the Love Pup for President of the Kennel Club". Outstanding org.s like that!
or deserve it
ACORN is like most of today's "artists"………..no one but the federal gubmit is buying the crap they are peddaling!
AP: "Breaking News" plebesite journalists Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe WIN JOURNALISM AWARD for WORK EXPOSING ACORN'S SYSTEMIC CRIMINALITY"!
Yea!
Oh, yeah – that didn't happen. Oops. As if…
Don't worry.
That kind of thing could happened to anyone.
You mean "La Cosa Acorn"
So, Bertha – where in the Constitution is the bit about the People shall be compelled to fund a bunch of corrupt Ass-holes? For that matter – where is there anything about the People being compelled to fund any partisan group? Unconstitutional to not give you dirtbags money you didn't earn that you use to break the law? You slimey progressives have never given a tinker's cuss about adherence to the Constitution, or criminal law for that matter. Are you idiots going to threaten the Supreme Court? Egg their homes? Key their cars? Register their dog to vote in Paraguay? Or will you just do the usual routine of stomping your feet and screeching, "Wahhh…GIMME GIMME GIMME…Wahhh…I'm entitled…Wahhhh!!!"
All you have left Bertha, is your Alinsky blow up doll. You deserve each other.
"Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land."
Then about 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the promised land."
Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and bankrupted the promised land."
Classic! I'm going to print this one off and have it framed and put on the wall.
Well that is certainly good to hear!

Thanks for all sharing info

Aw, poor Bertha – she just can't a break, can she ? ROTF!!!!!!
Or… "Rathke could Systemically mismanage a wet dream".
Please flush the Rathke when you're finished.
Is it called acorn anymore? Didn't they change their name? Will they then be able to get funding under the new name?
bertha, is one vile POS! This clown actually thinks her SCUMBAG organization is ENTITLED to our TAXPAYER money! To quote the vile POS on her criticism of the TEA PARTY being a "bowel movement" as she tries to recruit young IGNORANT followers: "go out and say, I'm democratic, and I'm a socialist"! Democratic and Socialist? You mean communist and entitled don't you bertha? If you really want to raise money for your WORTHLESS FRAUD RIDDEN TAXPAYER WASTING organization, do what other organizations do. Go out and WORK for it! Maybe you should move to Cuba or Venezuela bertha and pull your BS there. I'm sure you would enjoy the results! One more thing, judge gershon's ruling that defunding acorn was unconstitutional is an INSULT to every TAXPAYING American. She should be removed from the bench! Thank you congressman Issa for making sure that ruling was overturned. The only acorn should be entitled to is JAIL time!
What gone happen to mys reparations? I's is entitled and now they took away my civil rights to tax refunds and free mortgages.
Lets hope it lasts till November….

ACORN should be thrown in jail, all of them.
quoting from this article, "……Congress did the same as several states and localities when it tried to protect federal funds by stopping certain federal agencies from pledging money to ACORN and its affiliates because of evidence of systemic mismanagement by the group……" needs to be applied to the ENTIRE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND ITS CABINETS, since they are the ultimate source of this "mismanagement"……..
I mismanaged my systemic once.
Not something I am proud of
I said it before and I'll say it again, I agree
Full of crap she is. Trafficking underage Latina girls for sex, racist it is.
I just want to know where she finds the outfits she wears! Always looks like she's in her night clothes……………
It's a small step in the right direction… let's hope that the courts stay headed in that direction.
We've certainly lost all sense of reason and logic within this country. I can only imagine if this were an arm of the Republican party instead of the Democratic party. The indignation would be deafening. Come check us out athttp://www.LibertyJuice.com !
Thanks,
its not something i like to talk about
Next time I pinch a loaf, I'll name it Bertha.
What makes anyone think that soliciting people to register on the street will give them the will to carry their bu**s to the polls to vote. Oh yeah, since ACORN knows the names of those that registered with them, they can direct their people to the polls and vote under these questionable voters names as many times as they want. What voter fraud.
Please quit saying "govt money". It's taxpayer money and it belongs to us, the people, not to the govt. trolls currently in control. Hopefully, we can rectify that little problem in November.
Okay Breitbart,…………
if you have anymore tapes on ACORN,……………
lets get it out there so the next set of judges don't start ruling from the LEFT.
Acorn is like Micheal Myers in the Halloween movies, they won't go away. Just keeping coming back.

Is there a photo anywhere of that women that does not look like her head is about to explode?
or report it
Thank goodness! I'm sick of tax money going to fund thugs like ACORN. Bertha Lewis will have to get off her fat butt and get a real job now.
Sweet !
You are optimists. We all know that she will claim unemployment and then sit on welfare. She will steal from us one way or another.
WHOOPIE iz dat you?????
A Facebook friend from highschool posted it asked people to spread it around.
It's a hoot and accurate.
Now she and her band of welfare-grubbing delinquents will have to get a real jobs. Tough luck, sistah!

Perhaps that is what Bertha Lewis was trying to say. She misunderstood the lawyer when he said systemic mismanagement and translated it into bowel movement.
or stole it.
Perhaps that was the bowel movement she was thinking about when talking about the Tea Party movement.
