An attorney for the Justice Department asked a federal appeals court on Tuesday to allow enforcement of legislation stripping the embattled activist group ACORN of government funding. The attorney asked the 2nd Circuit for an emergency stay pending appeal of a March decision by New York federal Judge Nina Gershon, who had granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the funding restrictions. Gershon found that the legislation was an unconstitutional bill of attainder.

A federal appeals court was asked Tuesday to allow enforcement of legislation stripping the embattled activist group ACORN of government funding.
Mark Stern of the U.S. Department of Justice told the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that ACORN does not have a property interest in government contracts and Congress’ move to ban the group from receiving government funds was constitutional.
