NY Fed Judge Slapped by 2nd Circuit

Heh.

Nina Gershon, a Federal district judge in NYC--and a moron who doesn't understand the term "separation of powers"-- had her head handed to her by a 3-judge panel of the 2 Circuit.

ACORN will no longer get Federal money.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday temporarily blocked a judge's ruling that it was unconstitutional for Congress to cut funding to the activist group ACORN.

The ruling by the three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will remain in place until full arguments on the issue can be heard during the summer.

...U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon has ruled twice in the past six months that the funding cutoff was unconstitutional.

The Brooklyn judge said ACORN was punished by Congress without having gone through processes to decide whether money had been handled inappropriately.

But Nina won't be looking for a new job.
