US Supreme Court refuses ACORN appeal of funding ban Associated Press 04/23/10 washingtonexaminer.com WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has turned down ACORN's request for help in its lawsuit claiming Congress was wrong to shut off the activist group's federal funding. The high court on Friday refused to throw out a decision by the federal appellate court in New York City. That court had decided to freeze a judge's determination that Congress acted unconstitutionally in yanking the group's funding. ACORN, which bills itself as an advocate for low-income and minority home buyers and residents, has drastically cut its operations since losing its funding. Lawmakers acted after showing three employees apparently advising a couple posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend to lie about her profession and launder her earnings.
