U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon’s absurd ruling on ACORN funding

Justice Department Appeals ACORN Ruling

Some weeks ago the U.S. Department of Justice filed an appeal of U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon’s (absurd) ruling on ACORN funding.

Gershon issued a permanent injunction against the U.S. government forbidding it from defunding ACORN. She held that the cutoff of funding to ACORN constituted an unconstitutional bill of attainder.

I had searched without success for weeks online to find the appeal documents.

I asked the DOJ to provide the documents today and the department promptly complied.
