The US Supreme Court has refused to overturn a decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate a ban on federal funds for far-left radical group ACORN. The group had sought the high court’s assistance in the case.

WASHINGTON (AP) – 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.

ACORN can bill itself as whatever it wants, but the organization has a history of voter fraud and its head recently admitted to being socialist. Dozens of former ACORN employees are in prison and the organization itself is under investigation for voter registration fraud in connection to its attempts to turn-out voters for Barack Obama in 2008.

And all of that ignores the obvious controversy, in which several field offices across the country offered assistance to actors claiming to be a pimp and prostitute who needed help obtaining government housing and setting up a company. Some offices even offered assistance in bringing child sex slaves into the country.

Congress decided to ban federal funding for the organization after the last scandal, but ACORN claimed its constitutional rights were being violated by being denied federal funding for its operations. An activist, Clinton-appointed judge agreed and lifted the ban, but the Second Circuit Court of Appeals recently overruled her decision. The ban has been reinstated while the court reviews the case.

I swear, leftist politics today make the Clinton years look clean and spiffy.
